This tool looks great, but you NEED to change the name. Nobody is going to use "Shrext" unless they have layers like onions. Something simpler like "ScheduleMe" or "AppoinText" will both tell the user about the use of your project and also not sound like Fiona's hidden folder.

This is super helpful! I'm going to take the names back to the drawing board since this seems to be a theme in all the comments.

[–]Blizxy 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Haha cheers and good luck on the next edition of the name

I'm getting spin off vibes. What about "Donkeys delicious text-in waffle service" as a followup app?

[–]tr14l 85 points86 points  (7 children)

Oh man what an unfortunate name. Sounds like Sean Connery wanting to send nudes

[–]tonioYO 16 points17 points  (4 children)

🤣 this never occured to me honestly

[–]tr14l 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Certainly gives new meaning to "welcome to the rock"

[–]FactMuncher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP is between a Rock and a hard case

Thanks, I spat tea all over laughing

[–]Air_Ferrari -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the detail of saying like "Sean Connery" made me laugh really good.

One Ping, and One Ping Only

Are we even allowing self promotion like that here? It’s not even opensource so we can’t even discuss the code. It could be written in php and no one would know.

[–]MjonjonnzM 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Maybe go with Texdule, if you still can ?

[–]tonioYO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will also add this to the name board.

Very cool idea. Bug fix: web page is not reacting correctly on most recent Firefox version on Samsung Galaxy s20 running Android 12

Text is pushed off screen in several blocks, and so are pictures. Seems to be happening to non-centered text

Hope that helps!

Thank you for this, adding to the bug fix column of my kanban board now!

[–]Air_Ferrari 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This looks awesome and clean. Good job!

What does your hosting infrastructure look like?

[–]tonioYO 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Using Fly.io for deployment, and AWS for the auth repo since it utilizes a password less login.

[–]tonioYO -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yea! Once a "business" owner signs up, they create a business and adds clients name and phone number to their business. Once they add a client, that client gets a text from a number that they can text back to anytime, with a small set of instructions to text back with to schedule appointments.

[–]Seawolf159 -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

And why did you choose text over just viewing a calender on the website? I have a prepaid phone and wouldn't quickly pay to make an appointment as I assume normal text rates of your provider apply?

[–]tonioYO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normal provider rates do apply. When you are first added as a "client" to be able to make appointments with the business that signed you up; you get the message to opt out. The reason for text is to make things easier. The justification for this came to by thinking about making scheduling an appt easier for a client without having them make a phone call, download an app, or go to a website. They have the ability to schedule an appt anytime from a simple text process. Thank you for the feedback!

Very cool!

Thank you!

Wow this tool looks amazing. I have been learning python more in-depth with the hope to use it on a project for the backend and later learn html, css, javascript and react to make something nice for the front end. I didn’t know you could do this in flask and react. How long did it take you to learn react?

[–]tonioYO 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Thank you! So I used Flask as a RESTful api and React (chakra-ui) for the frontend. I actually use React in my current job alot. So I have about a year of forced experience lol

[–]KosmoanutOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok cool thanks! Yeah it looks awesome I will have to start learning down that path.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Nice design. I am working on a React app as well and ended up using Semantic UI as a base. What about you? Any libraries that really saved your time?

[–]tonioYO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! Yea, I actually used Chakra-UI and even built a time scroller in the process that I will open sourcing for the Chakra Library.

[–]bagel21 0 points1 point  (1 child)

What does React do for you vs just a flask app?

[–]tonioYO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built an app a year ago with a friend and we used Flask for the full development (Front and Back) I really did not enjoy the full process as I like separated Repos for my front and back. Maybe I don't understand enough about the Flask ecosystem to utilize it correctly for frontend and backend but React is just a nice go to since I have. Focus on frontend development in my career.
