OnSchedule Beta

Our domain is back! We remain at schedule.16skittles.tk
Well, I am proud to reannounce the release of the beta version of OnSchedule!

As many of you know, I have been working on this project in order to purge myself of procrastination. (Ironically procrastinating school projects in order to work on this) OnSchedule is a web app with which to store assignments and plot them on a calendar. While not 100% complete we wish to get user input of improvements and bug fixes to complete over the summer with the intention of working over the summer to release open beta in August.

Closed Beta Testers
  • 16skittles
  • Zincott
  • fire219
  • luigi
  • Gravion
  • majorrom
  • tuddster
  • ROSMan
  • Zeusking19beta

If you are not on the list and would like to help test, take the following steps!

  1. Go to this page and create an account (All passwords are encrypted)
  2. Report back here with the username you registered with
  3. I'll add you to the closed beta list and you will get access to the rest of the site!
(Attempting to visit some pages if you are not a tester may redirect you to the home page)

Note: We update the site's code at 10:00 PM CST, 11:00PM EST every Monday and only then, with the exception of critical bug fixes. This hopefully will avoid downtime affecting users and shouldn't take too long. This once-per-week update system is intended to minimize the downtime that actually effects users.
To Do List
Fix Bugs (The never ending goal)
Optimize for screens of width below 978px (mobile)
HTML5 Optimized mode
Internet Explorer Compatibility Mode
Ability to change assignment color (on calendar) on a per-course basis
In-depth user settings page
On-site bug reporting
Algorithm to actually schedule assignments, balance daily homework load

Current Known Bugs
Ability to set invalid dates
Text overflow on large assignment and course names

Upcoming Update
Note: This list is not official and is only intended to show what we are finalizing for the update. Some items may be added or removed from this list.
No update currently scheduled

Hey guys, found a bug.
You can set due dates to rediculous amounts. (Eg: 100th May 2013 - 6/100/2013)

Hmm. Thought I had that fixed, but I'll look into it.

I don't see a “grif” although I do see a “griffin.” Is that you? If it is yours I'll add it.

Okay, so I've been working on a PHP to-do list.

Are you interested, 16Skittles?

Perhaps I just don't understand… Are you offering to help with coding? I don't really think I need much aid right now, but if I misunderstand could you clarify a bit?

HTML 5 canvas gives you an easy and powerful way to draw graphics using JavaScript. For each canvas element you can use a “context” (think about a page in a drawing pad), into which you can issue JavaScript commands to draw anything you want. Browsers can implement multiple canvas contexts and the different APIs provide the drawing functionality.
– From Opera's "HTML5 Canvas: The Basics
Basically it will allow us to future-proof the site and give a feel that is more mimicking that of a native app as opposed to the web app system of bouncing around pages. It should enhance the user experience, but of course there would be a way to turn it off if so desired (for older browser support, for example)

What would you use it for? The calendar?

effectively, a to-do thing similar to Clear (iOS, Mac) that is coded in PHP.

Did you turn javascript off to get to the restricted page? If so, that would explain some of the formatting issues and bugs.

No, I used a ff extension.

Bugs might be because of unregistered (technically) username

Maybe on the calendar, we could set dates, in addition to assignments, for example, If you have a field trip somewhere, you could add it
