Volunteer Hour Tracking

The purpose of this project is to develop a way to track my volunteer hours for various ongoing projects / entities. This is a personal project, and is not intended for use by others.

If at some point, other might want to use this app, there are things I am not taking into consideration, like data security, password protections, and other administrative tasks.

Project Goals

I would like to be able to open a deployed app, enter my name and maybe a password? Basic protection? And be able to view several things.

• Log in
• Select Entity
  • Church
  • Columbus Glass Art Center
  • Jazz Arts Group
  • Anything Else? (Code for America would be a great, eventually)
• Log Hours
  • current day or recent past?
  • Number of hours
  • Display a table of the Start / End times logged
  • Cumulative calculation plot?
    • visuals are fun, but not necessary

Structure

How should I structure this app? In my head, the back-end would be pretty simple, a series of folders, with the username, and a password to protect the folder.

• Username Folder (pwd protection?)
  • year
    • month
      • csv file per entity (csv name == name of the entity)
        • Maybe Fields could be generated by ShinySurveys
        • Fields
          • Date
          • Start time
          • End time
          • Total Time calculation for a single observation / row
          • Cumulative hours
