Suggestions regarding a webgl problem

[Jonathan Lynch]

Hi Lagi,

Thanks for checking!

After doing lots of research, I think the problem is that chrome CEF blocks
webgl for certain graphics cards. I am trying to figure out how to set the
ignore-gpu-blacklist flag in CEF.

As for the app layout - I need to have it provide instructions on first
open. Without that, the app is probably rather confusing. It should
probably also make the user signup before making the other groups
available. I was not planning to show it to other LC users until I have it
ready, but this GPU issue is really a problem.

What the app does is allow users to enter reports linked to specific
geographical locations, and then allow other users who are at those
locations to read those reports. It is supposed to feel like Pokemon Go a
little bit, but instead of hunting boring Pokemon the user is hunting
interesting tidbits of information, like historical events at particular
locations, personal stories, treasure hunts, etc... The information will be
crowd sourced. Basically, it is trying to turn the whole world into
walk-through interactive museum.

'course, it is going to need to work on more than just my personal
computer.... sigh.
