Reminder app

A simple app to set reminders and create a todo list.

Format

Reminders have a title and metadata. User can add as many tags as they want to the metadata section. Reminders have a notes section as a string.

format:

{ "title": "Example Title", "metadata": [ "example", "demo", "reminder app", ], "notes": "This is an example of a reminder./nNewline./n/nDouble newline." }

TODO:

• Search by keywords (title and metadata in any order)
• Set time to send a push notification to system
• Some way to measure time when computer is off (compare to system time?)
• Add support for notifications when time is reached ( use pync.notify() )
• GUI
• Once UX has been finalized, refactor code to eliminate redundant methods
• Add edit/delete reminder options

Note:

in its current state, the app takes entry data, creates a Reminder object with this data, and writes to a .json file. Writing to a .json file involves converting the Reminder data back into a dictionary and then writing that dictionary. Currently it would be easier simply to create a dict and use that, but the Reminder object will come in handy when more features (edit, delete, sort) are added.

Note:

Currently the gui classes inherit from tk.Frame. Objects inheriting from Frame must be given a root/master, such as tk.Tk(). MainApp fulfills the role of tk.Tk, acting as the main application window and calling a method when the current frame needs to be switched. When a frame needs to be switched, it imports the Frame subclass that defines the new frame and calls its master, MainApp, to switch the frame. MainApp.switch_frame creates the new frame, destroys the old frame, and packs the new frame.

Note:

main/read_write.py is kind of a mess. Consider making it into a class to better follow the Model-View-Controller format.

Note:

Editing the reminder uses InputReminderFrame, but the title, metadata, and notes are set to the values specified in the constructor call rather than the default null/empty string values.

Note:

Reminders are organized by filename. This will eventually result in a ton of very small .json files, which can make retrieval and file navigation very difficult. Writing to disk may be bad practice in this case, and another issue is the fact that reminder titles with a '/' character will raise an error when attempting to write.
