Inspiration We wanted to empower students worldwide to easily discover and participate in verified events—competitions, hackathons, fests, and more—using a modern, secure, and engaging platform.
What it does Evify helps students find, bookmark, and manage global events. Users can search, filter by category, save favorites, set reminders, and view event details—all in a sleek, AI-powered web app.
How we built it Evify is built with React, TailwindCSS, shadcn/ui, and TypeScript for the frontend. The backend uses Firebase/Firestore for authentication and data storage. We used Node.js/Express for API endpoints and Vite for fast development.
Challenges we ran into Designing an intuitive UI for diverse event types, ensuring secure user authentication, and building a scalable search/filter system were key challenges.
Accomplishments that we're proud of We created a unified, attractive dark theme, implemented real-time search and filtering, and built a seamless bookmarking and reminder system for students.
What we learned We learned how to design for accessibility, optimize for performance, and integrate multiple tools to deliver a robust, user-friendly experience.
What's next for Evify We plan to add personalized recommendations, calendar integration, social features, and mobile support to make Evify the go-to platform for student opportunities worldwide
