description: This social networking platform for web and mobile devices was programmed by three computer science undergraduate students. Luau is an events-centric social networking application that allows event holders to organize, sell, and advertise events to users on its platform. The work done by the team can be partitioned into two categories: the website and the mobile application. For the website, React was used by the team to get all the required boilerplate code and packages needed to get an application of this size up-and-running. React also allowed the team to create responsive and reusable components for the user interface. This method allows for a cleaner code base, less code repetition, and a faster website due to fewer DOM updates. Google’s Firebase was used to create a database and connect the front-end and back-end of the project. With Firebase the team was able to integrate sign up and log in features. On the mobile application, various bug fixes and multiple new features and screens were added into the existing codebase. The existing codebase was upgraded to utilize the latest version of the Flutter UI framework and all deprecated code was removed or updated. State management was added across screens, the database interactions were upgraded, and a brand-new screen was added for viewing events. Various new and existing bugs were patched. The site and mobile application offer the user a high-quality experience to enable the ability to find an event that perfectly fits their needs and is launching for web, android, and iOS.
