What's Opening

Flutter based Mobile application for FOAM Maps.



This application utlizes FOAM contracts and api for POIs and has a second contract on Matic for reporting opening and closing times. Matic has been chosen to reduce onboarding fiction, lesser amount of gas fee can be easily handled with gas stations. Users can check and report opening and closing times without having any foam tokens or eth.
You can find APKs here.

Traction so Far

This application got featured in Community newsletters of FOAM mentioning how Matic worked charms for UX, you can ping me or FOAM team for a copy of newsletter.

Video

You can find a small video made by FOAM team demonstrating all the features of the application (some of the features are on Rinkeby and others on Matic). here.

Reason for making it a mobile app

Note :- Please refrain from entering exceptional values, proper exception handling might not be present everywhere.

Note :-If your last transaction is merged by making new transaction still gives you pending transaction, hit the transaction button again.

Note :-After adding POI it takes a few minutes so please reopen the app after some time you would see your POI.
