Building a Parental Control App from scratch: Here is my web control panel dashboard. Would love some UI/UX and tech feedback!
Hey everyone,
I’ve been working on a parental control app called Ximdroid to help parents protect their kids online. I just finished the web control panel dashboard (attached in the screenshot) and wanted to share my progress with the building in public community.
To give you a quick idea, here is what the app actually does:
🚀 Key Features At A Glance:
🌐 On-Device Web Filter: Blocks adult content instantly with zero internet lag (runs locally, not in the cloud).
📱 App Management: Parents can block specific apps or set daily time limits for games/social media.
📍 Live Location Tracking: Real-time GPS tracking and geofencing alerts when kids enter/leave safe zones.
📊 Activity Dashboard: One central web panel (shown in screenshot) to monitor everything at a glance.
🧐 Tech Challenges I’m Facing Right Now:
The Android OEM Battle: Keeping background services alive on Xiaomi/Samsung devices due to aggressive battery savers.
Dashboard UI/UX: Making sure the data charts look clean and easy to understand for non-tech-savvy parents.
💬 I'd Love Your Feedback:
Looking at the screenshot, how can I improve the dashboard UI/UX to make it cleaner?
As a developer, how do you tackle the Android background restriction issue?
Your feedback at this early stage would mean the world to me! I'll keep updating this thread as I ship new features.
