Release 1.0 is now complete. This is the initial release of Bluebird Planner, establishing the core calendar experience — designed to feel like a physical planner where users can schedule events, write daily notes, and plan ahead.

What went into this release

BBP-1 Set up the user interface for the calendar.

Parent story covering the overall calendar UI. The key goal across all child tasks is that the application should give off the feeling of a physical planner.

BBP-2 Set up the calendar interface.

The main calendar page displaying all dates for the current month, with support for multiple views including monthly and weekly. Users can click on a day to create events or add notes — similar to writing in a physical planner.

BBP-3 Set up the specific day interface.

The interface that opens when a user clicks on a particular day. Users can add events, set up their schedule for the day, and write notes.

BBP-4 Set up the specific month interface.

Similar to the day interface but for months. Clicking a month in the month view opens an interface where users can write overall goals for the month, monthly notes, and other month-level content.

BBP-5 Set up notifications for this application.

Bluebird Planner now pulls from and contributes to the same notification pool as the rest of the Bluebird Suite backend. Notification permissions can be managed from Account settings in Bluebird Documentation.

BBP-6 Add loading animations and indications throughout the website.

Loading indicators have been added across the application wherever needed.

BBP-7 Users can add week notes.

Week notes are now available, consistent with the existing month notes feature.

BBP-8 Add a paper theme to the user interface.

A paper theme has been added to reinforce the physical planner feel of the application.

BBP-9 Replace emojis with CSS alternatives.

Emojis used throughout the website have been replaced with CSS-based alternatives for a more consistent cross-platform appearance.

BBP-12 Bugfix — day view scheduling now covers the full 24 hours.

Previously, the scheduling interface in the day view only showed times between 6am and 9pm. It now displays the full 24-hour range to accommodate events at any time of day.

BBP-13 Users can set multiple reminders for a single event.

When creating an event, users can now add multiple reminders rather than being limited to one.

BBP-14 Add the ability to edit an event.

Users can now edit existing events. When the timing of an event is changed and a reminder was already sent, the reminder sent flag is reset so the updated reminder fires correctly.

BBP-15 Ability to create repeatable events.

Users can now create events that repeat on a schedule.

BBP-16 Improve the website UI for mobile and medium displays.

The website layout has been updated to be better suited for mobile and medium-sized screens.

BBP-17 Events in the calendar now word wrap instead of stretching rows.

Event text in the calendar now wraps within its cell rather than expanding the row height.
