It's actually online already but I am not publicizing it right now for a few reasons:

  • It assumes only 1 user right now so there's no encryption or data separation
  • No reporting features (this is also a security feature; can't have an XSS with no displayed values!) except for downloading the database and connecting with Excel/ODBC/Your favorite data crunching tool
  • Assumes the Pacific Time Zone
  • HIPAA/the mess around dealing with personally identifiable information

Ideas for mitigating the issues are welcome as deploying the site is very easy:

  1. Generate a random string of letters and numbers.
  2. Make a folder on your LAMP server named after #1.
  3. Copy and paste the application to the folder.
  4. Change 1 value inside a config file to point at #1.
  5. Run a script to create the databases.
  6. Fill in your database login information inside a config file.

(This assumes that you're wise enough to avoid leaving any public pointers to the site.)
