Recently, Peerbits developed a mobile application that enables a user to create, search, and join various event. These events could be of music, dance, or comedy nights. It serves as a great medium to find and socialize people with common interests. The app also allows you to keep the events public or private.
The application is available on both Android and iOS. While creating the events you have to set some parameters like age, location, event category, and gender. Users can also add & follow friends from all over the globe. The app also allows the users to chat with one another and with the event admin.
The Challenge
- Our developers faced a series of challenges while building this application. First, the client wanted to show the distance between the event’s and the user’s location. Secondly, the client wanted to come up with the privacy options for the events. Client also wanted the application to send timely reminders for the upcoming event. And lastly, it wanted an effective group chat management for better communication between the organizers and participants
The Solution
- We used Google APIs to show the distance between the user and the event. To provide the privacy option, we divided the events into two types: Public & Private. We also ensured to check the database once a day for all the users to send timely reminders. We also prepared event wise group chat to facilitate seamless chatting among all the participants and between the organizer and a participant.
