Bored and Broke

When you need something to do but you don't have money to spend.

An application to help a user find things to do without having to fork out a bunch of cash.

Hackbright Capstone Project

The main feature is a search function to find free events wherever you are. Those results are shown on as markers on a map, with info windows holding the event description and address

Each event title in the result list is a link to it's Eventbrite page.

Logged in users can save events

And view them from their profiles

There is also a free activity generator which shows suggestions of things to do without spending money. The new choice button will generate an activity suggestion pulled randomly from content stored in the postgreSQL database.
