The Obon holiday is coming to a close, and it's not been as productive as I would have liked. That's mostly because I've started writing up documentation for Eikaiwa Admin, and it feels like doing homework.

I touched on this last week, but would like to explain in more detail why I'm building this as a backend system rather than a front-facing portal for teachers, parents and students.

The hot weather we're experiencing in Gifu is hurting my productivity this week, but I did manage to overhaul the "Important Notices" widget.

As promised in the last dev diary, I spent the week implementing class, event and program duplication to make planning future lessons easier, and I also overhauled the calendar feature.

Progress has been a bit slower recently due to my teaching schedule... and time spent browsing the Steam Summer Sale for video game bargains! I did find time to work on two important areas however.

I've thrown myself into coding this last couple of weeks and have managed to implement both historical lesson records and billing records. These are completely unaffected by changes to course names, textbooks, pricing and other settings.
