We were tasked with building an in-car infotainment application in under 36 hours. We had to be sure that the application used the Ionic Framework and utilized the following APIs: UserApp, IDScan, Plot Projects, and Stripe. The event took place in San Francisco, CA October 2016.
Let’s Go Black! is an iOS application that helps discover a customized road trip adventure exploring Black history and culture, while supporting Black owned small businesses along the way. The app allows users to input parameters of the trip (i.e. theme, distance and starting location), then randomly generates a road trip with specially curated stops that are African American inspired attractions and landmarks. Additionally, the app alerts users when they are within the vicinity of Black owned small businesses, who are members of the Let’s Go Black! platform.
