A crossplatform web application to make event searching easy for busy college students. The app is designed specifically centered around Wesleyan University’s campus and is equipped with a host of features that every event app should consist of.

This was my first attempt to building a comprehensive product for fun and i’ve got to say, I’ve learned a great deal out of this experinece.

Things I learned

• Taking advantage of mobile device’s native functionality using Cordova
  • Sharing via instagram, messenger, and sms.
  • Haptic Feedback
  • Camera Functionality
  • Calendar Invites
• Using Firebase Collections to store data with data best practices in mind
• Learned to make common front-end design patterns from popular app like Fandango and Facebook come to life.
