Request Feature
The application has been designed to make it easier for shift workers to plan calendars and avoid adding events to the calendar shift by shift. The application offers many features that reduce the time needed to provide a duty roster for the next month to your calendar.
The application allows you to add shifts to the ICS calendar with a few clicks. The user can choose one of the defined types and time variants, then select multiple dates to add created combinations to the data store. Users can repeat the adding process many times before deciding to generate an ICS calendar.
On the setting page user is add new and modify existing types and time variants of duties without creating account. All settings modifications are stored in browser memory using localstorage. Added plans also are persisted.
App is designed to responsively react on screen size changes. It supports PCs with wide screens and mobile devices like phones and everything between them.
Draft: My wife work in hospital and is shift-worker without standard work times. Every month and week is different and there is no regularity. It's hard to manage your family time if not all its members know about your free time. On the way to getting rid of this problem, we went through III stages:
Wife start to send duty roast photos to let me know about her availability.
Advantages:
- possibility to check when the shifts are.
Disadvantages:
- during the time going it's harder to find duty roast in photo jungle,
- it has a very unreadable form. It takes much time to find proper row and column on duty roaster.
We create a Google family calendar to share our plans. At beginning of month wife manually providing every shift one by one.
Advantages:
- possibility to check when the shifts are,
- easy access,
- well readability.
Disadvantages:
- providing shifts is so boring and time-consuming.
We still use Google calendar to share our plans, but instead providing shifts manually, she uses Duty Planner.
Advantages:
- possibility to check when the shifts are,
- easy access,
- well readability,
- easy and quick add shifts to the calendar.
Disadvantages:
- None
All that is to make my family life better :)
Ultimately, it's good enough that we're not the only ones who use it :)

Waiting for better times:
-
OCR support - It would be perfect to use AWS OCR solution to automatically convert duty roster to ICS calendar.
-
Duty Scheduler - New functionality for persons who create duty roaster. It will use a complex algorithms to generate duty roaster taking into account the initial (not simply) conditions.
-
UI/UX support for fold devices - Currently app needs to be improved to handle extremely narrow screens like in fold phones.
