Sports Social App

One of my favorite personal projects—a sports social app that helps soccer players find a nearby team or a teammate or organize team matches as a team captain. The user can build a team and manage that team; the user can also join other teams as a member and participate in team exercises or matches organized by the team captain. The app has an instant messaging function to help team members communicate with each other.

I designed a home page to introduce the product—Qiozu.com.

The back end is written in Node.js/Sails.js and MongoDB with an administration panel SPA implemented in AngularJS. The iOS app is written in Swift with dozens of third-party Objective-C libraries. I'm still working on its Android version at the moment.
