My First App - release v0.1
The first pre-alpha release of my Wedding Planner app is now available for use! Currently the app is the web version of what will soon be an Android app. the app is hosted on Heroku and can be found here. Along with the v0.2 release, the Android (hybrid) version will be released to the Google Play store.
Features
The current release of the Wedding Planner facilitates the creation of weddings to work on, and defining 2 passwords for it. Users can register with a wedding with 2 roles — Admin or Planner. The user who created the wedding is the first Admin of the wedding. The 2 passwords set initially during creation are used by new users to register to THAT wedding. One passwords is for new Admins and another for new Planners. The admins need to share the wedding ID and one password with another user for registering as the new Admin/Planner.
As for the actual planning stage, currently the app helps you make a list of Invitations. You can add, remove and edit invitees. The list of invitees is updated across all the registered users in realtime, so you can modify the invitee list and other planners will instantly receive the modification on their app.
Roadmap for v0.2
These features have been either planned out or are already in development, and will be released in v0.2 :
1 — An interface for registering Bookings similar to the Invitee list. Users will be able to register Booking details like name, description, contact and cost. Bookings will be accessible to both Admins and Planners, except the cost field of each booking.
2 — An Android (apk) version of the app compiled using Cordova. The Android version will be running using the same server and database as the web version, so users can work on both platforms without loss of data.
3 — Logo, icons and theme colors.
