EventHub

EventHub is a modern event management platform that allows users to discover, RSVP, and engage with events seamlessly. It will be used to expose events, giving organizers the chance to manage RSVPs, and propose services, while users can explore events by category and connect with service providers at events for reservations and for advertisment opportunities and also to propose services to spice up events.

Features

• Event Discovery: Browse events by category, keyword, or location.
• User Engagement: RSVP for events, like events, and see friends attending.
• Event Management: Organizers can create, edit, and manage events.
• Service Proposal: Users can propose services for events based on category relevance.
• Role-Based Access: Organizers and admins have specialized functionalities.
• Automatic Migrations: The database updates automatically when the app runs.
