We get asked these questions a lot: “Do you have a calendar program?” and “Will you be building a calendar”.
Ex-Phoneslips customers, and soon-to-be ex-Phoneslips customers, in particular ask these questions a lot.
The answers are “No” and “Yes”.
Here’s a sneak peak of an appointment calendar we are building for PhonePad as an add-on application (much the same as MessageSender is an add-on).
The new program, cleverly named Appointment Calendar 🙂 , will tightly integrate with PhonePad and the PhonePad database, avoiding unnecessary repetition of data and effort. This will also result in some really cool features that only an integrated system can provide.
A couple of things to bear in mind. The main user interface shown in the screenshot may change as development progresses. In fact, this is the 3rd or 4th user interface we have made, scrapping all of the ones before it. It’s possible that the final version may look completely different.
The other thing is we don’t have a definite time frame for release. You wouldn’t believe how complex it is to develop a good calendar system. Lots of time and effort, and a tremendous amount of head banging and hair pulling is involved.
It’s one of those things you think to yourself “why on Earth did I ever start this project?”. 🙂 But never fear, we’re committed to getting this done. There’s no backing out now.
Stay tuned for further updates.
