RemindMe! - A personal reminder tool
I am currently in the process of developing a small tool which is capable of managing reminders. I named it as RemindMe! (it is my habit to name the tool I am developing, even before start thinking what the tool can do!). The requirement came from my PM, as he needs some kind of automation in managing his reminders. Initially I though to develop this tool as a outlook macro or something like that. But later, decided to develop it in .Net as it will enable the the tool to be used by more people (re-use). Although I am currently working in Java, I chose .Net because of the Email integration with Outlook. The reminder tool has some requirements to send out emails to a group of people, and using .Net, my development time will be minimal.
Basic Features of RemindMe!
- Managing Reminders
- Managing Contact people to whom the reminders should be sent.
- XML file handling for managing application data.
- Translucent Windows (eye-catchy!)
- Email functionalities.
The tool is still in the planning stage and I am sure it will take at least one month to completely finish this tool. I am not sure whether there are similar tools already available (if some one knows, can post a link in the comments). But, I like developing it on my own, as it helps me to refresh my .Net skills.
Will update the status of this tool development, in my future posts.
