The Family Plan
- 3 Devlogs
- 5 Total hours
Weekly logistics planner for families. It helps manage logistics for families that have to manage driving their kids around to different extracurriculars all the time.
Working on UX improvements!
I fixed a bunch of bugs, for example overlapping events saying “I’m available” are combined into one, for simplicity. The idea is that each person goes in to put in their availability, so I made it that you choose a person and edit only their location/availability, so they don’t have to see stuff that’s not relevant to them (it gets greyed out).
Next, I am working on the core of the project, the planning logic. The idea is to build an algorithm to find the lowest amount of total hours everyone. I think I’d probably need some kind of greedy algorithm, but I’m not sure yet.
I did some UI improvements and bug fixes to putting down a kid’s dropoff/pickup time, and also added location data to each dropoff/pickup point using Photon and OSRM, so I can estimate the travel time and when the kid has to leave to get there on time.
Setting up a basic calendar view, as well as Vercel. I’m using Vercel’s Neon for storage because of it’s great free tier.
