DogGo is a full-stack project which was built collaboratively for the purposes of developing the team's understanding of Supabase, Typescript and React Native with Expo.

DogGo is a travel app for mobile catering specifically for dog owners. Provides a ‘one-stop shop' for planning a holiday with man’s best friend. It offers up recommendations for airlines, hotels and places to visit based on user's desired destination and its level of dog-friendliness. This will displayed in an easily digestible single screen format with the ability to save potential trips, share a trip and more.

DogGo is a C.R.U.D application and as such users can:

• View dog-friendly airlines and location-specific vets, accommodations and recreational spaces.
• Create an account
• Log in and view their saved trip and can add their own property for users to view and consider booking.
• View, write and rate reviews
• Delete their own reviews and accommodations

The back-end database used for this project was built using Supabase.

The front-end was built in React Native with Expo
