Tech for good near you

What

An app to help users find Tech for good events. Events will be filterable by date, area of interest and location. They will be displayed on a map along with the user's location.

Why

Currently Tech for good events are publicised in a range of mediums such as Twitter, MeetUp and Eventbrite. This makes it hard for interested people to get informed about all the events going on.

How

Event data is pulled in from the Meetup API and a collection of user submitted events. The app combines all the event data and displays events in a clean, intuitive interface.

Users can enter their postcode or get their current location, select which date range they'd like to see events from and then see a list of all the events near them plus a map showing where these events are.

The app is built with:

  • Elm - (frontend)
  • Tachyons - (frontend)
  • Elixir / Phoenix - (backend)

Submit your event

visit https://tech-for-good-near-you.herokuapp.com/user-event/new and add your event, our moderators will look over the events and approve them to be displayed.
