About

City Stream 865 is a React web app developed for the KNXHX 2020 Knoxville City Hackathon.

City Stream 865 allows users to see a list of events currently happening in the city of Knoxville. Users can then either select an event to see live streams provided by individuals at the event, or add their own stream for others to watch. The user can easily swap between different streams for the same event to get a full picture of the event as it happens.

This app was developed by Sai Thatigotla, Spencer Howell, Manny Bhidya, and Fatima Bhidya.

What We Learned

Most of the team had not used React JS to build a website before, and others of us have not had experience using MongoDB and other backend services. We were able to experience full-stack web development and learn a lot.

Technology Used

The UI for the site was developed using React JS, and the backend uses MongoDB. We do some parsing with the Knoxville Event Calendar's .csv file to import events to the website.
