Why I built it

Finding something to do nearby, and people to do it with, was weirdly hard. Event apps felt like ticket shops, and group chats got lost. Pookie puts the map, the guest list, the chat and the check-in in one place.

How it's built

React Native and Expo on the front end, Supabase (Postgres, auth, realtime) on the back end, MapLibre for a map that handles 1,000+ events, and RevenueCat for in-app purchases.
