We worked hard this past couple weeks to make the Birdhouse app better for you. Here’s what we did over the past 10 days or so.
Developing Android 2.3a – how nutrition info is all going to work on your phone
- Arranged a meeting with Dan to review build 1 notes and discuss remaining build plans
– Wrote API documentation for Nutrition - Sent Dan param format and syntax for Nutrition info, including for schedule
- 6:30am – Meet with Dan to review build 1 notes and discuss remaining build plans
- Checked in on how the latest build is working for testers
- Paid some bills to keep things moving along
Fixed some bugs and added some new niceties, which will make it even more effective and manageable to track details about your child’s life for the purpose learning more about them
- Added an ‘export therapists’ button to therapists page
- Sleep time calculations were off, so I had to find the source of that and figure out how to correct it
- Updated the footer copyright to start at 2012

- Updated the Birdhouse Premium dashboard upgrade link to the proper google shortlink
- 5pm – met Joel @ GRBC to discuss how to keep making improvements faster
- Meltdowns that were posted from mobile were all saving as 00:00 duration, but not anymore 🙂
- 1:30pm – had a call with Chartio to discuss new services
- Added a message for when search returns empty
- Birthdates were changing by one day each time a profile is updated, so we fixed that right up
- Fixed the problem where email addresses must be capital or lowercase, depending on how you signed up, and that wasn’t really important

- Also handled case sensitivity of email on password reset
- Fixed an error on the child admin edit page
- Got team approval for Kevin to optimize mobile experience
- Gave Kevin approval and instructions to start mobile optimization

Reviewed how people are using Birdhouse, how systems are running, how is our engagement doing out there in the world
- Prepared a couple weekly usership reports

- Checked in on how our collaborating users are collaborating with each other
