Hello all, I built this small app a while ago while learning Ionic development, and I thought it would be nice to share it with other tech people !

I was fed up having to exchange messages in order to know if the letterbox had been emptied while getting home, or to tell my wife that I was safely back from a mountaineering trip, etc...so I thought there might be some easier solution to share 'flags' !!

After a few beers with friends, I came up with the idea of Flaggy !!

Simply put, this app allows to raise 'green/red flags' that are shared with relatives, friends, family, etc... A flag being a 'thing to do' ('is the car park free ?', 'is shopping done ?'), or a 'status' ('will I atend Thrusday's evening beer', etc...), or whatever you want to share.

I also added 'private' flags, group flags, etc... all of this without any registration, and a simple UI !

This was my first attempt at Ionic, and it helped me a lot to learn this nice tool !!

Hope you will like it ! Any feedback welcome !

My first thought is this would be a great chores list for parents to set up for kids. Does it have "flag flipped at x'oclock" type logging? An option to require/allow an image, or flag-creator-approval would be cool too.

Yes it shows 'last updated x ago'. It also allows to create 'only me can change' flags for flags you want to be the only one who can change, others will only have a 'read only' access.

Flags seems like an odd word to use for this, I thought it was to do with personal safety or rating people.

Well, english is not my mother tongue...I thought it was ok to use this name, but it seems not then. How would you have called it?
