#gifts - #probably the proudest gift I've given (Android app!)


To celebrate one year together, I made an app for my girlfriend. I learned some Java skills and made the present completely from scratch, with a passion that I learned, and that she will always have with her (assuming that she has her phone and it has a charge, but it's 2017, so it's almost a given!). I'd post screenshots of it, but it's all personal stuff, and mildly embarrassing quotes and in-jokes.The main part of the app was a little swipe gallery of quotes and things telling her about how much I loved her and other things that she could just read whenever I wasn't with her, or having a rough time. I also had a gallery of pictures of her and I, that I snagged off of our phones and stuff, and a secret bit, that was a letter to her. There is also a daily notification that says something cute to her, just to bug her/make her smile. I downloaded and installed the app to her phone when she wasn't looking (we got a hotel room and a nice dinner and stuff) only letting her know it was there via a text, just to confuse her a bit. The next day, we met up with a few of our friends, and they thought it was one of the coolest things. Sorry for the bragging, I'm just really proud of it, and thought that some other tech-y people here might be able to do something similar!TL;DR- I made a cute app for my girlfriend and wanted to share the idea, because I'm really proud of it, and she loves it via /r/Gifts https://www.reddit.com/r/Gifts/comments/76sbu7/probably_the_proudest_gift_ive_given_android_app/?utm_source=ifttt
