hikuweb Files

Hello, this little tool is meant to company the app for hiku devices.

Don't have a hiku? Get one at http://hiku.us!

With hiku devices you can fill your shopping list in an extremely easy way - by scanning and speaking into it.

hiku.us is offering apps for Android and iOS, but not (yet) for Windows 10 mobile or Blackberries.
So to have access to my hiku shopping lists with older or unsupported mobile devices I created this small webapp, which works in almost every web browser.

How to use: Download the zip-file  (or the index.php and 4 folders) and extract it to your own webspace (just PHP required).

OR use it directly via https://hikuweb.mine.nu , this is a fully functional demo of hikuweb.
Unfortunately the sourceforge web hosting http://hikuweb.sf.net doesn't work, as it doesn't allow outbound access ... see https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Project%20Web%20and%20Developer%20Web/#outbound-connectivity)
Outbound access is needed for doing the requests to the hiku-app-servers.

It currently translates into frensh and german, depending what your webbrowser is sending as favourite language. Default language is english.

hikuweb does not store anything online. If you want to use it regularly, then you can tick the checkbox for "Stay logged in" and then your credentials (only a hash of it) are stored locally in a cookie. The hash would be the same as stored in your app in your mobile phone.

Basically hikuweb acts as a proxy and converts the requests from your webbrowser into the exact web-requests, your app would send to hiku server.
PHP is needed as a spot in the middle, as you can not load javascript from one website (or local html file) and then have the javascript retrieve data from another website (hiku). This has security motivation and is known as same-origin policy.

Please comment for improvements (i.e. features, translations, typos ...)!


Enjoy! And buy your friends a hiku ;) 

Cheers, Ulle
