Summary

I built Co-planning as an online scheduling app for supervisors to assign working shifts to their employees, using no-code platforms like Bubble, which I discovered in 2016 after having a background in finance and project management. The app helps generate optimal employee schedules with multiple shifts, subject to sets of constraints and staffing requirements, and is entirely free. It allows users to remotely assign work shifts and manage scheduling, with a simplified interface that can be created in seconds using Bubble's point-and-click web editor. The algorithm runs on a cloud server, solving the problem efficiently. I found Bubble through Product Hunt and was drawn to its advanced solution and helpful community. My app has been successful so far, but I don't have any specific plans for the future, other than continuing to develop it and possibly being featured by Bubble.
