Wanna Online Events Discovery App
Overview
Wanna is an events discovery social app that allows you to explore your city and locality activities and events. If you are looking to find playdates for your bubs around your neighborhood, you can create a Public Wanna. This goes on to the Wanna map, where other moms can discover your Wanna and join in! Through the Wanna app, users can create a Wanna for a future date - like the next public holiday or the upcoming weekend and invite specific people or make it a Public Wanna. When other users say I'M IN or I'M OUT, Wanna will automatically display the list of people going and not going to your event. Next time you want to organize a birthday party for your kids and get a headcount, you just need to create a Wanna!
Client Requirements
With the growing demand for mobile apps, we have an innumerable social application in the app store. Our client wanted to make something different through a social app where people can spend free time with other people. Through this app, you can organize activities or events, and people interested in your event can easily join. To unite each and everything on a single platform, a client approached Hyperlink InfoSystem to develop a unique app. We have communicated with a client and added some extraordinary features; we created the Wanna app to organize activities and events - weekly or in the moment. Wanna app allows a new and unique way to organize events.

Challenges
Manage My Wanna Listing
As per the client's demand, we need to sort Wannas by month with the firebase real-time database. It was quite challenging to get all Wannas with a specific query and sort them. But after some in-depth research and team discussion, our developers have solved this issue; we fetch all Wannas one by one and sort them month wise.
To Manage Badges Counting
We need to show an indication on a tab for any un-read action performs in any event. So it was a challenging task to get badges counting in real-time for any activities. After some brainstorming research and extraordinary hard work, our developers have added some observer provided by firebase with some queries to resolve this issue very easily.
