App Idea

The idea behind this app I am going to build is simple (for now). I find myself struggling with to do lists because they do not address my needs. I find myself in the midst of many ongoing projects. Many of these projects get broken down into sub-projects and sometimes these sub-projects are put on hold. Ultimately, using a to-do list and setting a reminder feels backwards. I am not inclined to care when a project is due, only when I should start it, and if the project is put on hold, I want to know when to start it again. I would like a calendar view of when I am starting and working on projects so I can easilly schedule a time slot and I'd like to have a very easy set reminder.

There are pie in the sky ideas as well, like wouldn't it be cool if it interfaced with google calendar, etc.

My biggest goal with this project is simply to bring it to completion using Android and iOS and heck with Visual Basic perhaps even Windows phone. This is an exercise for me to utilize my programming skills and practice.

I will start with the Android platform.

I am using a Mac machine loaded with ADT Bundle.

The ADT Bundle is a version of Eclipse with the Android SDK pre-installed, at the time of this writing it can be located http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html.

Here we go!
