This app is terrible.

Why? Well, I'm not going to go into detail here the video explains it all. Not in a technically detailed way, more of a foreshadowing style. TLDR: Concept was cool, too complex, app sucked.

Watch the video for more.

Here's what it looks like...

But. It does what it says it does, poorly.

I'm not really upset about the app sucking. I think it proved something more important in this case. I can't overcomplicate these ideas. These apps need to be simple. Not too simple, I still need to learn things.

I was able to make all of the parts of this app work. It grabbed JSON from an API endpoint, stored things in MySQL, and had a notification scheduler. So, why did it suck? Well in short putting all of those things together was way more work than I expected and just not easy to do without breaking something in the process. This happened over and over until I just ended up with a hacky mess :( . Lesson learned. KISS.

Stay tuned for next week. I have no idea what I'm making.

Here's the download.

Thanks for reading and watching, I really appreciate all of the awesome feedback!
