(🧪 Early Beta) 🤙 TamoTam. HangOut. Offline.

🤙 TamoTam. HangOut. Offline.

Description

Map with offline events happening around you. You don't need to log in or register.

Go Online to be Offline.

TamoTam aims to limit online time spent on digital applications in favor of offline social life outside the screen.

The application aims to be minimalistic and exclude features such as:

• Addictive Feed,
• Destructive Notifications,
• Brain-affecting Likes,
• Comments, #StopHate,
• Share, #StopFakeNews,
• Other complicated Algorithms unconsciously affect your stay online.

That's because we believe Social Media affects us mentally, such as Anxiety, Depression, Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO), Fear of Speaking Up, Isolation, and more.

Look what's happening around you in Real. Offline. Social Life. Could you add your events (log in or registration required) to contribute to that idea?

Note

The application is in an early stage of development with a number of improvements & issues. It will take time before the application will be complete, performant and user-friendly, but in late 2023 we expect Early Beta.

Thanks in advance for understanding while reviewing TamoTam.

Developers

That's an Open Source project; feel free to contribute.

Frontend/JavaScript/Web Developer interested in React Native/JavaScript Mobile Development?

The project is a combination of a personal education project to learn JavaScript Mobile Development using React Native and business idea to create a mobile app with offline-only events to limit online time.

Therefore, even if that's just from business point of view super easy app for now, it contains several nice technical implementation, which helped me to understand the ecosystem on React Native and become better developer.

Technological stack

• React/Native + TypeScript;
• Redux;
• Different databases (Firebase, SQLite, AsyncStorage);
• AsyncStorage, which is really comparable to localStorage we have on Web;
• Caching data using AsyncStorage;
• Making the Web code actually compiled & working with deployed app to the store;
• Logging & Monitoring to Firebase Analytics/Firebase Performance Monitoring;
• Reporting crashes to Firebase Crashlytics;
• Handling environmental variables in Android, iOS, and Web - changes in native code were required;
• Integration of 3rd party tools, like Firebase-* and Google Maps;
• Usage, looks & feel of Material Design (React Native Paper) in a real application.

Run it

Android Simulator

1. Run on Android Studio
2. yarn start
3. adb reverse tcp:8081 tcp:8081

Alternatively, expo run:android --variant release, for production version.

Kill Android Simulator

adb -s emulator-5554 emu kill, where emulator-5554 is the emulator name.

iOS Simulator

1. Build using Xcode, if the application isn't installed on the simulator
2. yarn start
3. i

Alternatively, expo run:ios --configuration Release, for production version.

Release

1. eas build -p android
2. eas build -p ios

Architecture

We're using Redux, but the easiest to understand the architecture is the image below with Flux architecture, which in fact is really similar. However, it's important to note we're using 1 store, like in Redux architecture.

External API's, like Ticketmaster, provide +/- 10k of external events. The TamoTam's client is fetching also events added by the user, from Firebase. After all events will be fetched, those are being cached locally, using AsyncStorage. After events are being cached locally on a device, the user can save their favourite events. Those saved events are also saved locally on a device. Those are saved using SQLite. In addition to that, users can add their own events, and those are saved in Firebase.
