Family Portal

Portfolio Dec 21, 2022

About

Started with the necessity of having an event planner and sort of grew from there to encapsulate everything that would be used by a family.

It grew, bit by bit, in a short period of time, and is currently evolving as a Family Portal.

It is made with MySQL, Laravel 9, PHP 8.1 and simple blade pages and yes, it needs a bit of love for refactoring. Currently the code is not open sourced and there is no live demo, but it is accessible on https://prajescu.com.

It was initially planned to be deployed as a docker container, however, due to having the functionality up and running, the docker deployment was postponed.

I will resume working and implementing multiple features when I will have a bit of time. I am considering getting the software open sourced, and recommending it as a self-hosted solution deployed as a docker container.

Main features

Its features are limited for now and currently used as an event planner with RSVP functionality. In a bit of more detail, you can:

Create events with a text editor that supports full HTML
Show upcoming events, past events or all events
Published events and drafts
Protected events by a simple event code that is uniquely generated
Add guests and group of guests to the events manually or allow guests to self- manage themselves
Allow a public guest list or mark the viewing private
Start Date, End Date, Start Time and End Time
RSVP with deadline
Location Map
Send event notification via email or via SMS with Twilio API implementation
Light/Dark theme and other 6 different accent colour themes
Language selection Romanian/English
Portal user management with user/admin roles
Email verification for users
Profile management and password reset
Admin users have to enter their password again when accessing restrictive routes

Upcoming features

These need to be completed before considering to realse it as an open source project. For details and feature suggestions, please get in touch with me and we can further discuss opportunities.
