Keep your birthdays to remember
I just wanted to keep some birthdays of my family and friends to be sure to contact them the right time 😉
So I'm using Laravel to do it and laracasts/flash - Easy Flash Messages for Your Laravel App from Jeffrey Way
Here is a copy of my .env file
APP_NAME="Birthday's reminder"
APP_ENV=local
APP_KEY=base64:
APP_DEBUG=true
APP_LOG_LEVEL=debug
# Add port 8000 for the links sent by email
# APP_URL=http://localhost:8000
APP_URL=http://birthday.idev
DB_CONNECTION=sqlite
BROADCAST_DRIVER=log
CACHE_DRIVER=file
SESSION_DRIVER=file
QUEUE_DRIVER=sync
REDIS_HOST=127.0.0.1
REDIS_PASSWORD=null
REDIS_PORT=6379
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=2525
MAIL_USERNAME=
MAIL_PASSWORD=
# MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=no-reply@birthday.com
MAIL_FROM_NAME="Birthday's Team"
PUSHER_APP_ID=
PUSHER_APP_KEY=
PUSHER_APP_SECRET=
So I'm using sqlite, don't forget to create database.sqlite in database directory
-
Create a user (click on register)
-
On the main menu, add a new birthday
-
Back to the main menu, you have your list
-
If you don't remember the year (and the email), you can avoid it
The dates are automatically sorted by month AND by day
-
Each line are underlined with the current month
-
Of course you can 'Edit' or 'Delete' a record
Send you an email to warn you with the next birthday to remember
Export list of birthdays (JSON, XML, ...)
SMS ?
