We used Twitter Bootstrap to help lessen the amount of work we would need to do to make the interface visually appealing. However, this decision did come with some tradeoffs. First, we used many Twitter Bootstrap widgets to be consistent, even though some of them did not quite fit into the needs of our system, particularly the use of JavaScript objects and the scaling of the event calendar and minical. We were forced to make some "hacky" solutions that we would have preferred not to do. If we had more time to work on this project, we would look into using other UI toolkits that integrate better with Django and our system as a whole.

Briefing

PackPlanner is an interface designed to allow parents to easily create, update, and share events for their families. PackPlanner helps keep parents organized by providing a single space to manage their calendar and who is driving their children to and from various events.

You, Mary Smith, are a mother of three children, Andy (12), Barry (10), and Christine (7) with your husband Nick. Christine comes home from school with an invitation from her friend Daisy to a birthday party this Saturday at 2pm.

First, add this event to your calendar without specifying who will drive (Task 1).

After adding the event, view the calendar to plan how to get Christine to the party (Task 2).

After viewing this event, you sees that Andy has a soccer game at 2pm for which you are planning to drive. Additionally, Barry has drama rehearsal at 2pm for which Nick is planning to drive. Unfortunately, the soccer field, drama workshop, and birthday party are far away from one another, and you and Nick will not be able to drive all three children to their events. So, use the website to reach out to other parents or relatives to help getting all three children to their separate events (Task 3).

After reaching out, it turns out that Christine’s best friend Eleanor who lives nearby is also going to the birthday party, and Eleanor’s mother Maddie offers to take Christine to the party. To show this, update your calendar to show that Maddie will be taking Christine to the birthday party (Task 4).
