What’s up in RJ

This project is about creating a simple-to-use web application that centralizes a list of events and organizers in the vicinity of Rapperswil-Jona. Its purpose is to present all kinds of fun, interesting and exciting events to the regional residents.

The application is built from scratch, there is no existing platform used as a base. With a centralized platform it is possible for organizers to easily publish their own events. Anyone can sign up as an organizer, making it appealing to all people and organizations looking to advertise their events. Users of the platform benefit from this by being able to find events advertised by regional, national, and even global organizers. After creating a user account, they can simply subscribe to the newsletter, delivered twice a month, informing them about new and upcoming events that match their preferences.

The approach is to create a web application consisting of a frontend, backend, and database layer. Deployed with a cloud hosting provider, the application is widely accessible to all users. Following the initial inception phase, the application underwent design and development during the elaboration phase. The implementation of the entire application was then done during the construction phase. Additionally, various tests were conducted, including usability tests with real end users to evaluate the user experience.

This first iteration is a good starting point to create a seamless platform where users and organizers are able to interact with each other. In future steps, it is recommended to implement additional features to increase the application's appeal. This project has considerable potential to become a successful platform for event organizers and attendees.
