One week with WhenWorksForYou.com

Last week I launched http://www.whenworksforyou.com, a new Grails website that lets you coordinate schedules with other people to find the best date for your next event. Our first week provided lots of great feedback from users. One of the biggest gripes was not being able to subscribe to updates on an event. Well, thanks to the feeds and mail plugins, now you can! It was dead simple to implement, and now I can focus my attention on the next feature rather than having to re-invent the wheel on RSS and email.

The site also takes advantage of several other plugins, including

• Spring Security
• UI Performance
• Recaptcha
• Build Test Data
• Test Code Coverage (of course)

Thanks to all the plugin developers who took the time to build and document plugins for the Grails framework!

I also wrote one other plugin that wraps GreenMail and acts as a transient “Inbox” for sending emails during development. I’m putting the finishing touches on that now, stay tuned for more information.
