So I had a really big personal project the last 2 years, which certainly thaught me a lot. But on Tuesday this week it got shut down. How you ask? Let me first explain what kind of project it was.

It was a mobile application for my school to look up substitutions and events, read news and some other stuff. I talked about it with the principal a lot, but back 1 year they said there were too few features. So the last year I spent improving and adding features.

Then the last few weeks, it was time to make everything ready and talking with the leadership of the school about everything necessary. Then one big problem arose. No teacher in school could maintain the app, the ones who maintained IT-Stuff at school left this year.

So it was decided to "kill" the app and wait for an IT interested teacher to come.

And now every day of the week, I sat infront of my PC and didn't know what to do...

    Could you not interface the app with a blog RSS feed so they have some control over what content is pushed to the app?

    @laceytech The problem isn't trust or anything. There's a GUI built in for them to create/edit all necessary things. But they don't want, that when I leave school no one will be able to update the App or apply changes to it.

    Make it crowd sourced. Have other students add crap and them maybe validate it or something like that.

    Or if it's worth it for them, try to make some maintenance deal were they pay you to make sure everything keeps working. May need a little/lot of convincing.
