I second this.
Even with your relative inexperience, I actually think your goal is doable.
But with any problem, you’re gonna want to break it down into more bite-size problems. Here’s my breakdown:
The idea is to now make this into an iPhone app,
- This is probably the biggest step, and might require some further breaking-down
…send data (in my case an image from an iPhone)…
- look into sending GET requests with you language of choice
…to a server…
- Research Node.js
- Look at Express (which functions on top of Node.js)
- Building a simple API with nodejs + express
…that then analyzes that data…
- Sounds like you’ve already built this part?
- However, if you’re using nodejs, it might have to be rewritten in Javascript
…and sends back the values/ measurements.
- Similar to sending a request, you’re going to have learn how Javascript or Swift handles requests. Some googling turned up this
Of course, anything’s doable with enough time, so another question that needs to be answered is how much time you have to commit to this
