[Feature Request]; Implement the ability to share a birthday profile as a post card. Post card should be customizable.

Open HarryHeights opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

Hi, I'm Harry. I stumbled on your app lately and it's cool. I think this suggestion might improve the app further.

Components

This suggestion will affect the structure of the app.

Proposal Description

The idea I'm proposing is the ability to convert a birthday profile to a shareable postcard. The app lets me add a name, nickname, date of birth, a note, and lastly, a photo of the celebrant. All this information put together makes up the birthday profile. Especially the notes and the photo. The note could serve as a medium to pen down my birthday wishes to the celebrant. When I'm done inputting all the details, there'll be a button that converts that information into a postcard that can be customized and shared. Implementing this feature might be tricky, but I know it is not impossible. It'll be cool to have.

Benefits

  • I could remember when I was still little, people bought and sent birthday cards to someone who was celebrating his/her birthday. The postcard which the app would generate can be likened to such a birthday card. This feature will certainly bolster user experience.

This sounds like a nice feature. But I quite can't understand what exactly you mean. Can you provide example from an other app/ program?

Alright. I'll get a sample.

I can't quite get a sample. But I can make my explanation more elaborate. The idea was actually formed based on some apps I use. A diary app to be precise. The way it works was that; after writing an entry into the diary, with pictures included. I could also convert that entry into a postcard or diary card. Now the content of the diary turns to a sharable photo. I was suggesting the same thing for BirthdayBuddy. The information I'm required to fill can also be transformed into a birthday card that can be shared as a picture file to the celebrant. I guess I'm complicating the whole thing. Well, here's a sample of a diary card; Screenshot_2019-06-26-08-47-54-497_me blog korn123 easydiary

This looks pretty neat. But I dont have currently the time to implement this right now. There are also some bugs which have to be fixed before. But I am going to write this on my todo-list.
