Prodosia v2 note

Prodosia has always been a fairly small side-project of mine, written in a language that is not my personal favourite. I have found it difficult to use Swing to create an appealing application, and the project has lacked polish because of me abandoning the project to work full-time.

Now, with more than a year of proper programming experience under my belt, I find the old application woefully lacking in a lot of things. However, the way the application has been written has been clunky and messy, leaving me with no desire whatsoever to try and dive into the code to fix it.

A new version of the project would consist of a web application (which will increase the ease of making a good user interface tremendously) that will communicate with a small client application. The client application is necessary because of the IP restrictions that Imgur places on usage of its API. All management itself would be handled inside the web application itself. Whereas the original Prodosia runs in Java, the client application will run in .Net Core, which will allow builds for different operating systems. The duration of the project is difficult to oversee at current, since I will only be able to work on it outside of my working hours. At first I would be bringing out an application with comparable functionality to Prodosia right now. Though in the future, it is possible it would be extended to include other functionality such as

• Allowing users to sign up / sign off for taglists themselves
• Allowing users to review their taglist status
• Post queueing with adjustable timers (per request of LaughingSouls)
