Auto upload pictures from DSLR to Node.js web app - angularjs

I have a web app in Node.js and Angular. In our company we need to take pictures of some products.
In an ideal situation, we would take the pictures with the app open (in a browser on a desktop) and it will automagically upload the pictures to the app.
I know it sounds very easy and I'm pretty sure it won't be. But is there a way to do this? Can it be done via WiFi or only USB?
We are using a DSLR. Right now is Canon (I know they have an SDK) but it would be great to not depend on the camera model or brand.
Thanks!

Migrate link from mobile web browser to mobile app

I want that my online website link that is opened in my mobile browser checks whether my mobile app is installed or not and then opens it in my mobile app.
I want my functionality as I have shown in this
image
I am using AngularJS,Express,NodeJS in my application.I tried node deeplink
but it does not work for me.Please provide me with the appropriate solution.
This functionality is known as Mobile Deep Linking. The easiest way to get started is with a deep linking service like Branch.io (full disclosure: I'm on the Branch team), Yozio, or Firebase Dynamic Links. They all do exactly what you're describing.

Rendering mobile simulated view inside image of mobile phone on desktop browser

I am relatively new to SO, and this is my first question so I hope I get the format & question information correct. I am looking for a plugin or tool that can assist me with a specific display issue.
I have a mobile application that is deployed to both Android and iOS devices. I also have a mobile web application that renders very much like the actual mobile application in the mobile device web browser when the user browses certain parts of the server back end cloud service website on their mobile device. So far so good.
However, when the user browses these parts of the cloud service website on a desktop/laptop, they get the web application view - some of it stretched and not ideally optimised as this is really for viewing on mobile devices. The client would like that a user, on desktop/laptop browser can see a mobile 'simulated' view of the web application.
It has to happen when the user navigates to the page, not through installing chrome plugins etc
I see the ideal solution being something like an image of a generic mobile for when browsing on desktop, centred on the desktop screen, inside of which the web app view is rendered. Is there is plugin/tool that someone out there for this, I have done quite a bit of research and can only find information on emulators for testing etc. In a way all I am looking for is an image that dynamically resizes inside of which a view can be rendered, that looks well across many desktop screen sizes/resolutions etc. Rather than go about this myself (it would be a bit of a CSS learning curve for me) it would be great if something like this already existed.
An implementation like the above would free up real estate on the screen for other items like links and form buttons the client wants
Any direction on this would be greatly appreciated.

Using phonegap for an app for Web,iOS & Android which is more on content display

I am a webdeveloper. Have experiences in web development languages i.e PHP, HTML, CSS, jQuery. Ive been googling for sometime and still not clear for me if I should use phonegap.
I have a project which will be deployed in Web, iOS & Android.
The project is more on displaying data like belows :
User Profile (save profile / view proifle)
User Activities (displays all activities of users. get the new/latest activities everytime for display)
User Feeds (displays all feeds. get the new/latest feeds everytime for display)
User Subscription (displays all subscribers and subscribed by user)
Login/Logout/Register/Facebook Connect
Basically, it is more on displaying data.
So i assume the API calls will handle all the data saving and retrieval.
I will be making an API using PHP for retrieving and saving of data and i got no issue regarding this.
Also i should use a websocket/node.js kind of plugin for the realtime activities/feeds data.
All i want to know is if Phonegap fits for my needs.
We all know phonegap has many disadvantages and i want to ask the advice of experienced experts out there if Phonegap is good to go for this kind of project.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Even though I don't have experience with phonegap, I'm kind of in the same boat as you. I recently started using titanium studio with the alloy mvc framework, definitely worth checking it out.
So far I have build myself a todo app working on both android and iOS, using a remote mysql database server to store my data on. They offer cloud services also, havent looked into that yet.
You can also buy modules in their store, often not that expensive and it will save you a lot of coding time.

HtmlEasy and Silken to serve mobile specific page

I'm busy building a web page where I'm using HtmlEasy and Silken with Google Closure Templates.
With ASP.NET MVC4 there is a technique of serving a mobile version of a web page by changing the file name to .mobile.. So it is not just the same version served up using a different stylesheet - the contents/data too can be different. This is really great since not everything may be relevant for a person using a mobile device.
Does HtmlEasy and Silken provide the same or similar feature? I can't seem to find anything that'll help.
Ok, when you need to detect any mobile device then its better to make use of a database.
For my own project I'm using 51Degrees Lite. Pass the user-agent to the lib and it'll tell you if the device is mobile or not. Then serve your soy template(s) accordingly.

Integrating mobile app and mobile web

Currently I am developing an app in corona sdk. It is still very early in the development stage so I can change the IDE or SDK if needed to achieve my goal.
I wish to create an app that can be played on multiple platforms(mainly ios and android) and I eventually want the users to be able to use the browser to continue playing at home with their progress saved. It is a simple app and could probably be recreated in html. They will have to login their accounts in order to play
How do i go about to achieve this? Should I complete my app in corona first, and then recreate the app in html and php and link the database to it separately or is there a specific development kit I could use that has this ability. Also, I am new to the development scene, how do I detect if the user is logged in a particular platform as I realize if they are logged in, in multiple places and give multiple entries it may cause problems.
If you are new to the development scene then you should continue developing with Corona.
Corona doesn't povide any web port but I know Unity does.
I think first you should complete your game for mobile platforms and if it will have success you can port it to web.

You might want to try phonegap (http://phonegap.com/). I have never used it, I just know that it exists, so do some research to see if it would be a good fit. This might allow you to create the app once for both browsers and mobile.
