Somtomorrow
Somtomorrow is a Somtoday client that's actually good. It interfaces with Somtoday via the Somtoday API, and provides a nicer, more responsive interface with additional features.
Features
- Notifications when the schedule changes
- Linking the schedule to your phones calendar
- Refresh button on the schedule
- Sensible layout for the schedule, showing breaks and gaps like the site does
- Fancy animations and better color palette
It's not real (yet)
This project started of more than a year ago as a Rust project. I decided to rewrite in Phoenix because I actually know how to use it LOL.
I don't have a lot of time, so I work on this now and then. At this point, the frontend is mostly done design wise, but the backend is still non-existant. This is the roadmap at the moment:
- [x] Finish design
- [ ] Write a nice wrapper around the Somtoday REST API
- [ ] Authentication (somehow?)
- [ ] Handle refreshing token properly in a GenServer
- [ ] Schedule notifications (look into how this works on iOS)
- [ ] Link the frontend to the backend
- [ ] Use PubSubs to have live updates
Authentication especially is hard, because we don't have a return URL for the OAuth flow, and PWAs cannot register URL schemes (yet?). At the moment I'm using a quick and dirty python script to obtain an access and refresh tokens.
How to run?
Open clone the project and run this:
mix deps.get
mix phx.serverYou'll then be able to access the demo at http://localhost:4000/.
