AppventCalendar

A small Kotlin Android project in preparation of Christmas 2021.

Set to become a customized Advent Calendar for selected friends with login functionality and 24 custom doors for each of them.

Each door can contain:

Currently following

User login
- Custom Name (Name is associated to personalized "door" set)
- Password? Should only needed ONCE after install;
- User needs to stay logged in else it's annoying
- Option a) Preset Password by me.
- Option b) User can set own password which gets hashed. How much more "difficult" would this be?
24 doors
- Door can not be opened before date -> Message: "You tried to open before the day. This will get you on Santa's naughty list!" or something
- Each person gets a different set of 24 doors
Content:
- Messages: Custom Text messages to the person
- Images: Images that are packaged with the .apk and are shown on screen
- Links: Links to be opened in a browser -> App needs to be able to open browser
Reminder?
- Should the app send a reminder each day? Is this too intrusive?
Where should I store the .apk? Google Drive?
