A Java Swing Desktop App that helps 'build' and create text reminders with efficiency and maintenance
The app allows users to easily create and update text reminders. It provides a user-friendly guide with predefined text-fields and a format for creating and managing text reminders. Users can then paste these reminders into their notes or any platform where they find it useful for timely reminders.
A sample where an output text reminder might be useful can be seen in the image(s) below:
- Download and run the RemindersBuilder_Installer.exe file from the "dist" folder to access the app.
- it will redirect you to the installer file's directory in this repository. Click the download button on the right side, wait for a few seconds, and the download progress should pop up at the top. It will display a lot of caution and warning messages because i don't know for the life of me how to make the program to be recognized as a safe application (sorry i'm a noob at deploying apps) but just click the "keep anyway" button or anything else to continue downloading the file. Then when the file is downloaded, you can run the installer, then windows defender thing will pop up, saying it's not a safe file or something, just click "More info" and continue the application installment. Go through the installer and after that, the program should be installed on your end.
- If the .exe file fails to open, try downloading the .jar file and run that instead. If the issue persists, attempt troubleshooting by downloading jarfix.exe from the web, enable jarfix, and then attempt to run it again.
- If all else fails, clone the entire repository in your IDE client and try compiling it on your end.
- When you open the exe file, the app will create a .txt file on the same directory that will serve as the user database file
- The creation of Reminders is straightforward, you can press the create button to create a brand new reminders, fill in all the text fields, choose the format you want, the style of the bullet, the title, etc. and just press the CREATE REMINDER at the bottom. You will be directed The output page, you can now copy and save your reminders. When you press copy the reminders will be copied as text on your clipboard and you can paste it anywhere you want. When you press the save button the created reminders will be saved onto the database and in the collections page where you can see all your created reminders.
- To update a reminder that you are using, just simply click the UPDATE button and make your desired changes and click the UPDATE REMINDERS button and save your reminders.
- a need for a time chooser UI (currently, only data chooser is available per bullet item)
- an SQL database (the database currently runs on a .txt file)
- datechooser UI from Ra Ven's tutorial
