Horizon

Inspiration

I hate it when I find out that I've just missed a big event that came to my town! I want an app that allows me to view quickly events in my area. I want it to be mobile so that I can quickly swipe away the events that I'm not interested, and refresh with more events that I might be interested in.

What it does
