PLYR2

Plyr2 is a mobile friendly website that connects like-minded, sport enthusiasts. Targeted at providing a solution to the problem of wanting to play tennis, ping pong or indeed any sport you desire, but being unable to find a partner, plyr2 is an elegant, scalable answer to a common summer problem.

Plyr2 is a social media platform that enables users to both invite others to play with them and view other's requests on an interactive map. After picking their preferred sport, a user decides the date, time, location and skill level of their event, as well as space for any additional comments.

This is displayed with a nice, little logo on a google API-rendered map. Other users can then view these prospective events, and decide if they want to participate. Working under the assumption that people won't just use the site to see a picture of London with pretty logos, a request to play will be made by another user, who can include a personal message to the creator if they so choose. The person who created event then decides whether to accept or not. A log is kept of a user's past events so they are free to reminisce at their leisure.

Technologies used are:

• Node JS / Express / Sequelize / Postgres
• Mocha / Zombie
• Heroku
