Mindasaurus reminder app in Elixir

Mindasaurus Ex

Mindasaurus is an application that allows a person to create reminders easily. These reminders should be brief, but they should also be retrievable and taggable.

Rationale

I find myself often wanting to remind myself about something -- a restaurant I want to remember to go back to, a blog post idea I don't want to forget, a cocktail recipe I see on a menu. I sometimes send myself an email or text myself or drop it in a Slack message to myself. Or, sometimes, I just forget it. This application is to provide me a central place for these quick reminders, and this project aims to give easy access to just such a central place.

This is also a project idea I use to play with new programming languages -- much like you see examples using todo list applications as example programs. In the case of this incarnation, I'm playing with Elixir.

Status

Currently a user can create an account and then save reminders using an API access key. They can also retrieve reminders by account API key. The ultimate goal will be to use sessions which can be expired and logged out of.

This is an Elixir application that uses the umbrella app concept. The API UI is a Phoenix app that uses the underlying applications for domain logic and database access.

mindasaurus_ex's Issues

Exercise unhappy paths

User should be required to verify registration

Before an access token can be used, the account should be verified via email.

User should be able to view reminders in a web interface

User should be able to change password via API

User can add one or more tags to a reminder

These should be returned when returning a reminder.

User should be able to change access token via API

New accounts should only be added if the request includes a valid invitation.

Users should use session keys, not api keys for access

The session keys should have expirations and a user should be able to logout by deleting the session.
