Viva PR App 🎉

Viva PR is a mobile application I am currently developing as part of a collaborative team project. Designed for iOS and Android, the app helps users discover local events easily through a bilingual interface, interactive maps, and personalized features. I am building it using React Native with Expo, implementing functionalities such as authentication, event listing, detail views, and map integration. This project allows me to combine strong front-end development with practical real-world architecture decisions for scalable apps.bnb and Eventbrite.

Requirements & Core Features

• Bilingual UI (English/Spanish, default Spanish)
• Login with email, Google, Apple
• Event scraping from Facebook, Eventbrite, Ticketmaster (extensible to other sources)
• Map + list view (Airbnb-style)
• Calendar view and favourites
• Tag-based search (auto-generated + trending)
• User accounts with saved events
• Shareable event links (Whatsapp, etc.)
• iOS + Android app (Expo build)
• App Store + Google Play submission

Nice-to-Haves

• Push notifications (e.g. reminders for saved events)
• Dark mode
• QR code for app flyers
• Flagging tickets available

Architecture

• Frontend: React Native, Expo
• Backend API: Node (to match front-end) or Python FastAPI (for future AI integration)
• Parsers: Golang (fast and scalable)
• Database & Auth: Supabase (Postgres-based, scalable alternative to Firebase)

Current Progress

• Designed app UI based on Figma wireframes
• Set up React Native Expo project
• Implemented email login and authentication flow
• Built event list page
• Built event detail page
• Built map page displaying events

Next Steps

• Complete event scraping parsers
• Build calendar views
• Integrate push notifications
• Prepare for App Store and Google Play submission
