EventCademy

Description

Eventcademy is an event app designed for local tech and cultural communities. It provides a platform for event organizers to publish their events, making it easy for you to discover and join local gatherings. Whether you're into tech meetups, cultural festivals, workshops, or more, Eventcademy connects you with events that matter in your community. Stay informed, engage with organizers, and explore what's happening near you with Eventcademy.

Eventcademy is also very much a testing ground for things I personally dive into, from architecture, libraries, patterns, API quirks, and more. It's been a very fun project to spike test new things.

Development and Contribution

Setup firebase

To setup this project, you need to :

create a Firebase project and add an Android app to the project. When prompted, use the package name com.yveskalume.eventcademy.
Download the generated google-services.json file and place it in the app/ directory.

Bug fixes are always welcome. Tests are too if you're into that kinda thing, but I'm not actively trying to make this project a shining icon of TDD. For new features or otherwise significant work, please discuss in an issue first.
