butterfly

Butterfly is an event sharing and registration app. Inspired by the term "social butterfly", it originated from a problem we wanted to solve. We wanted to make an app that we could tie into our lives and that we would actually use. After passing around ideas, we came up Butterfly, an app that builds communities around events.
