What it does

All users are anonymous. You can post an event that you want to organize on Aktiv. Other users will see your events and join you if interested. As a user, you will also see recommendation of event posts based on your interests and passions.

How we built it

We built a web application by React and NodeJS.

Challenges we ran into

We had lots of ideas in mind at the start, but time is limited we have to abandon some by the end.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We’re proud that the front-end of our project looks fantastic! We designed a cool logo and an elegant black-and-white UI. The website is very user-friendly such that users can easily navigate through our website without a deep learning curve. You can literally create an impactful event in just a few minutes.

What we learned

Before writing any actual code, our team brainstormed ideas for this project and the cool features that could be useful to the users. On the technical side, we got more familiar with web development technologies, including React, Bootstrap, MaterialUI, and Firebase. When implementing front-end functionalities, we made an extensive use of functional components and React Hooks. We got a sense of how developing a real world software may look like: problems occur one after each other, and we have to tackle them one by one.

What's next for Aktiv

Being able to chat with event initiators to ask more about the event before you commit!
