Announcement: New Applications
We are excited to announce the launch of our new applications! We're opening up early access to our new applications for searching, downloading, and submitting photometric observations. You can now access these applications through these links:
We ask for your feedback in order to help us improve these applications. Please send feedback for the applications above to feedback@aavso.org. Note: please avoid duplicating submissions across the two submit applications.
The initial app was developed for free by a new application development firm near Boston. Their goals were to use it to find a funding mechanism (grants presumably) to create a better app and also to use it as a proof-of-concept for a particular method of app programming they were developing for use in other data intensive science fields. If it was pulled, then it suggests they have decided to focus their efforts on the other fields. This is all conjecture, I haven't spoken to anyone involved in this project in quite a while. It was very nice of them to put the effort into this app that they did. Without a sustainable business model, I don't think it is realistic to expect them to continue to maintain the app.
I've checked also Sherman, it seem that it is gone alright. I wonder why?
