Ignition Family Calendar App
 
A fully-featured family calendar application built on Ignition Maker Edition — the free tier of the Ignition SCADA platform by Inductive Automation. Built using Ignition Perspective, this project runs in any web browser and keeps the whole family organised on a shared, colour-coded calendar.
This is a real-world Ignition Maker Edition project that demonstrates how the platform extends far beyond industrial use. Download it for free, run it on your home server, and access it from any device on your network.
