A hybrid mobile app for easily managing community service hours
I created this app for an extracurricular group at my school, so that they can easily track each member's volunteering and promote more community service involvement.
- Welcome intro slides to quickly brief the user of the app's main features
- Login token remembering, eliminating the annoyance of logins at every app launch
- Customizable app announcements that appear on the home page
- Calendar that fetches events from the backend (community service opportunities & other important events)
- Form to upload the user's community service activities (date, hours, details etc.)
- An automatically sorted service hour timeline, which lists all of the user's uploaded activities in chronological order
- Lazy page loading, to speed up the slow inital app load time for hybrid apps
- Hybrid apps must launch a native WebView and load the main web files (usually in one large chunk), which can be slow for the user
- Lazy loading splits pages up into seperate, smaller chunks and loads them only when requested / loaded
- Ionic Framework
- AngularJS / TypeScript
- Adobe Cordova (provides native web wrappers for specific platforms)
- CouchDB Database
