Why hello there,
:D@TODO's. Added stragglers to the 'To Be Done' list below._transactions table.
.txt file.
newFilterWord = filterWord.replace(/[?]/, '\\?');petrefapp.com<base> meta tag, but that killed the entire page as all references switched to the account level.
In the end, to get it resolved, had to duplicate 4 image URL references in new (duplicated) [_assets] subdirectories (i.e. _assets/_assets).
.hidden broken in Admin mode. Created an overriding global CSS file [/_assets/_over.css] so display:none won't be outclassed by an account-based CSS property (and don't have to use !important).'stat-need' (orange) CSS class to fields with '??' in View mode.<html> tagsVet Med List took priority.
@TODO's. The list below is a list of these random thoughts notated during development.
<table> to a flex layout.The Pet Ref App resource tool was initially created to help with gaining an understanding of "what means what" when first starting to work with pets. There is so much information involved in caring for pets, and most times all of this information is strewn across books, binders, and websites, or worse, the information is only shared verbally amongst individuals.
This made learning about pet care challenging. This reference app was an attempt to centralize the information, while making it accessible via any computer or phone (#lovetheweb).
In demonstrating the reference tool, it appeared others could benefit from the information as well. An administrative tool with preset logins was then created to allow others the opportunity to update the information as well. This allowed those with even more knowledge to contribute, thus improving the quality of the information gathered.
In thinking broader, it became clear that one potential path for the app was in providing it to the general public. Thus, petrefapp.com was born. A home page was created, and a demo site provided (which doubles as a 'new account' base). Both operating and advertising strategies were developed, and marketing ensued.
Yes, ads are provided across the site as a way to offset site operating costs. But the information is available to those with ad blockers just as well. Why not block them? Because that's not what this app is about. The core kdcinfo.com policy (the parent of petrefapp.com) isn't about forcing ads on people—making money on sites comes second to providing a quality tool that others can benefit from. Additionally, even with ad blockers, people are encouraged to donate as well, which certainly helps to contribute to the site's longevity.
The Pet Ref App is a customizable reference tool. The resources provided also make for great training resources.
The Pet Ref App was created and is maintained by Keith D Commiskey <keithdc@petrefapp.com>, and is located in Reno, NV, USA.
App operation is fairly straightforward:
The home page 'Account Name' input field: 1) Won't allow a submit if input length <3 or >9. 2) If length is 0 (input field is empty), submission will show 'demo' by default.
This site uses ads, accepts donations, and offers premium/ad-free services. All subscription plans are given an initial 3-day promotional period. The selected subscription 'start time' will begin on the 4th day after the initial subscription purchase as determined between the Admin user and Stripe).
An Account Holder shall have only one View Mode account. The View Mode account info can be shared amongst teams. The View Mode account is intended to simply keep the general public out, and the Account Holder's data private.
In having an account, account holders are free to request changes to their names and e-mail addresses.
Turnaround is typically no more than 48 hours.
Account holders can change and reset their passwords using the links on the login page.
When an Admin Mode account is verified, an account-specific folder is created. This account-specific folder is removed when the 'Admin Mode' account is removed (this is done when a verification is attempted after 5 minutes of registration)). Database table entries are also removed when removing a user. View Mode account removals will remove all references to the View Mode account. Only Admin Mode accounts can clear account-level database tables and remove files and folders (on account removal).
Account holders can request a copy of their data files at any time. A 'zip' file will be provided either via e-mail or URL.
Turnaround is typically no more than 48 hours.
In having an account, account holders are free to request the cancelation of their account.

Being the site is hosted using a third party hosting service, it is, by the very nature of all things electronic and internet-related, susceptible to the whims of electricity, the Internet, and everything within and without. In other words, the site could possibly experience temporary outages for nonspecific durations. That said, and while the web hosting service used guarantees 100% uptime (which most likely uses an algorithm that allows for rounding), my personal observations—from developing on the site full time—would be more along the lines of 98% uptime.
