Just thought I’d share about my new web app (built on CI of course!).

It’s a simple, easy-to-use project management tool for freelancers.

http://www.projectbubble.com

The best thing about CodeIgniter in this project is the fact that I can build new features so quickly. Would love your feedback on it.

Next things to look at are:

- Project Collaboration and sharing (permalinks for projects)
- Payments with Paypal for invoices
- Data export and import
- Some kind of API (might just be XML at this stage).

It’s all free of course, have fun.

certainly looks very nice, will definitely take a closer look when i have some time.

would be interesting to hear more about how you built it; libraries used, any extensions to CI, server setup, performance tuning etc.

thanks for sharing.

Wow I’m having a go at the moment this is quite nice! Thanks. Very nice.

Looks pretty cool…I’ll give it a try.

I already found a bug and sent you an email about it

Hey ya, yeah got the emails will fix bugs today.

Thanks for spotting!

Just made a few updates, and released a new video. http://www.projectbubble.com

With regards to the CI set up. It’s powered by my CMS - Halogy, so has loads of customisations to the CI libs. For example, My Parser, HMVC and other stuff. Like I’ve said in other threads. An open source version of Halogy my appear in some form next year. Bubble is free to use though. Let me know if its any use to you guys.

Collaborative update released, everything is still free at the moment:

Stu,

This is bloody lovely! It’s a really nice alternative to the tired project management software. It’s well designed, easy to use and plain simple, which I love. I think that I can see this becoming the project management tool I use day to day.

Just a quick techy question: on the Projects and Tasks page, why are you using AJAX to load the projects and tasks on page load? Surely that’s an unnecessary extra request on the server?

Jamie

Hiya Jamie,

Thanks for your wonderful comments! Hope you enjoy using it.

I just spent ages replying to your question without reading it properly. “On page load”, yes that is a very good observation and I hadn’t thought about that. It doesn’t need to you are right. I’ll have a think - thank you for pointing that out!!!

Awesome.

Wow, well that’s fixed…

Thanks Jamie - that’s so awesome! I’m so glad you pointed that out. It’s now massively faster when going to projects page! Should have thought of that one ages ago. You legend.

Very very very very nice design! Congratulations!
