Today feels like a special day. The reason is that the project I have been working on for a couple of months now has been released for alpha testing. I encourage everyone to check it out at http://visitmeadow.com
The whole event planning thing was sort of a pet peeve of mine for a while. It was the worst when I had to plan a vacation or something of that sort, but even making arrangements for a barbecue sometimes felt like a mess. I mean, we would lose important information and agreements, forget something important. We would also have to use a ton of different applications. I mean, at least there's a facebook group to chat. A facebook event, if we want a convenient place to store the time and location. Then evernote if we need a check-list or something. Dropbox if we need to store a file or several. Some table to keep track of expenses. The list goes on.
So, naturally, I was very excited to make an application that should help deal with this type of problem, and I sure hope we are not the only people who keep having it.
The project is also quite a pleasure to work on from a technical perspective. Getting to choose any tech stack was like a breath of fresh air after a couple of projects with legacy requirements. The only decision I'm not quite sure about is AngularJS. I mean, I really like the framework, but it seems like it is in some sort of transition to version 2.0 which will break backward compatibility.
Anyway, the project is far from over and many important features are yet to come. Will try to keep you updated on any interesting developments!
