Plan XY First Release

[mchourdakis]

FET is wonderful, it is the only app that solved my school's problem.

Here is a Windows 10/11 WinUI3 open source tool that provides a modern UI experience along with (almost) all features that FET supports, and also with Bootstrap-level HTML outputs.

Homepage: https://www.turbo-play.com/planxy/
Auto-updating executable download: here.
Also available in Windows store: here.
Open source: here.

Features:

• Most important FET time and space constraints in a friendly WinUI-3 single click editor
• Import from CSV teachers, classes, lessons
• Multithreading build, saves output to the same .pxy (FET compatible) file
• Added new space restrictions - Preferred room set for teachers, lessons, students
• Added combo printouts per classes
• Single executable, auto updates when new version is released
• Multiple languages, WinUI 3 interface, dark/light mode

Still work to be done, I 'll keep this updated. Suggestions/Feature requests welcome.

Congratulations @mchourdakis!!!

FET is suitable for virtually any type of Greek school. Especially, schools with difficult timetables (such as Music Schools) should consider seriously of using FET for preparing their timetables. Some users would like to have alternative and more attractive UIs for FET. Plan XY seems to be very promising!!!

Hi Michael,

I've been using FET for 15 years, just love it. Really want to download and try your tool, but I am having problem with the download from the Microsoft store. Keep saying it is have some error. Any idea?

Looking forward to try your tool!

Screen shot of the error attached.

It's probably a store related error.

This local portable executable is always up to date, it will show a warning about downloading it from the store but you can always ignore it.

Michael,

Thank you! The download worked. In your website, you mentioned about "collaboration", is it the "Share Screen" option under "Help"?

Collaboration is actually one of the reason why I want to explore PlanXY. I wish there is a way that my collegue and I can edit the same file an not over writing each other's work. Is it something that PlanXY support?

At this time the collaboration means that another user may view your PC/PlanXY screen and work with it. This means you can work with other users at the same project. You share a "key" with the other users and they "join" your PC.

That said, I plan to release a "XML Collaboration app" that would work with PlanXY (and with other of my apps that support XML) and make real time collaboration possible.
