Eventur

Event Creation (Landing Page)

Inspiration

Post-COVID, our generation is more digitally connected than ever—but also more physically disconnected from real-world communities. We saw a need for a simple mobile app that makes it easier to create and discover events in one place. Most event apps today feel cluttered, confusing with fragmented features across different applications. We wanted something that feels clean, simple, and community-driven—something that shows one event at a time, like a story feed, so users can actually focus and feel drawn to show up.

What It Does

Eventur allows people to:

Create, discover, and host local events
Swipe through curated, AI-tagged events
Express interest or skip with a familiar swipe interaction
RSVP and track events they’re attending
Grow into or build new communities over time Our goal is to make it easy to connect through shared interests—starting with individuals, and scaling into lasting communities.

How We Built It

Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript
Backend: Golang (Go) using the Gin web framework
Database: MongoDB Atlas for storing users, events, preferences
Authentication: HTTP Basic Auth using Gin middleware
Hosting: Deployed on Cloudflare Pages with .tech domain -Tags : Ai Gemni

Challenges We Ran Into

Implementing authentication and MongoDB integration from scratch
Go's Gin middleware for authentication was very barebones—Marc faced issues with session management and access logic under pressure
Learning and using Go, HTTP Auth, and MongoDB Atlas for the first time
Time constraints while juggling multiple tracks (business Pitch, Database , and AI , .tech)
Making UX decisions under a compressed schedule while ensuring functionality
No one in our group had used Go before.

Accomplishments That We're Proud Of

Built and deployed a hosted MVP within 48 hours
Implemented swipe, event filtering, and account functionality
Conducted interviews with 14 users to shape our solution
Validated our business model and user need
Learned new technologies as a team and kept each other motivated
“When HTTP Auth finally worked, it was the best moment of the weekend.” – Marc

What We Learned

How to work across roles—frontend, backend, design, research—under pressure
How to use Go, MongoDB, and deploy a full-stack app from scratch
The importance of user research in guiding features and pitch direction
How to present a business case, pivot features based on feedback, and deliver both a working prototype and a compelling story
