Create a Thought of the Day System for Mobile and Web

The aim of the project is to simply have a thought/quotation of the day display on a web page and on mobile devices via an app. Responsive web pages are not what I'm looking for the mobile devices though. I am looking for a basic "Thought of the Day" or "Quotation of the Day" system. I'm thinking that some of you have already built such a system and can easily adapt it to my needs. What I'm looking for is a simple implementation that connects a database or file of thoughts or quotations to a web service or other means with two API functions. One for getting a random thought/quotation and one for getting one that is set to be the one for the specific day. Consuming this web service would be three clients: An android mobile app, an Apple iPhone app, and a web page with the settings choice of getting today's thought/quotation or a random one. You can simply use any random quotes for development or testing or I can provide you with an export DB table or file holding several dozen thoughts/quotations. Page display is simple and is one of four types: All text, all image (PNG), mixed text and image with text displayed on a top panel, and mixed text and image with text displayed on a bottom panel. The database, if used instead of a file source, can either store the images inside the database or outside by using file pointers links. When you bid on this system please tell me in what languages with what libraries you will be using for the server piece and for the 3 clients. I am partial to .NET C# for the server piece and the web client but I'm open to other languages. I'm not particularly fond of Phone Gap or Xamarin for the clients though. I would like them to be native android and iPhone code without using libraries that are either expensive or incur monthly costs or royalties to use or develop in them. That being said I am open to suggestions as to architecture, design, and implementation. Bonus points for already having a previously working system that you can demo for me. Also bonus points for being able to build in the future additional functionality such as categories and searching and bookmarking/playlists (although this is not a requirement for this project in this first phase). Also when you bid on this project please tell me: 1. If you are adapting an existing system or building from scratch. 2. If you have built such a system or a similar system before. 3. Languages and libraries used for each of the 4 components. 4. If you have suggestions for the project. 5. If and how you can enhance it to be outstanding in future phase 2 and phase 3 parts of this project which will be to have a world class, best ever system. 6. Note that there are no security or user subscription requirements for this phase. Public access to the thoughts/quotations. And be aware, of course, that I need full source code and all rights. Images and thoughts/quotations I will provide so you don't need to worry about rights for them. Thanks! - Grant

Hi, 1. We prefer to use PHP5 laravel5 framework for the site / back end. We can develop in asp.net MVC if you want it. 2. We would prefer to use a database for storing quotes than a XML file. 3. Do you need an interface for setting the quote of the day? thanks

Hi Grant Let me introduce myself. I am Archil from Georgia, a seasoned developer in .NET and C#. Here are answers to your questions 1) I am adapting an application. 2) I have built similar system. It was not quite daily quote app rather it was a quiz app but it was randomly giving tests to answer. 3) Probably I will use Xamarin and ASP.NET MVC. I don’t know either way to complete this amount of work cheaper and faster. If you go other way you have to build web app with PHP/MySQL, Java for Android and Objective C for IOS. You need three programmer instead of one. 4) Well my first suggestion is to start faster and finish faster. 5) Program itself will be extensible so you can add more features if you want but I don’t know now what is phase 2 and phase 3 so can’t answer how can I expand the app. Thanks for your attention and time Archil
