Enjoy the short video we prepared to give you an impression of what EventNinja can do
EventNinja in Action
The EventNinja widget contains multiple pages, as you are used to from mobile applications. The home page shows all the events, allows you to search and filter them. Along the top bar you have the search bar, the “Help” and the “About” pages linked.
Clicking on the icon to the right of each event takes you to the details page of the event, from where you can go to multiple other places, like the map, to see where it exactly takes place, the schedule of the event. If the event has twitter tags saved for it can go to a page which shows you all the latest twitter messages flying in. Try it on EventNinja.net and explore the features.
EventNinja Features
User Features
- List of web developer events
- Searchable and filterable by tags, location and full-text search
- Exact location of the event
- Watch all twitter messages for each event
- Find out about details of an event
Technology Features
- Events are stored, retrieved and filtered by a Google Calendar
- Everything built on top of the Dojo Toolkit
- pure HTML, CSS, JavaScript based widget
- using PhoneGap to run on iPhone, Android and Blackberry
- Plugin architecture, allows for a modular enhancement of the widget
- Fully customizable via client-side templates and CSS of course
As you figure right from the list of features and cleverly combining them we can hook this widget onto any calendar, customize the features (via plugins), style and brand it the way we like it and have your custom widget.
This gives customization a far broader meaning. Just imagine combining the two components 1) base of the widget and 2) the twitter plugin. You get a widget which shows you all tweets for a certain event -that’s just a new widget itself, without writing a line of new code. Which again is a very different use case, than the widget you get here. Just hook in another plugin which allows replying via twitter and you get a full blown twitter client in the context of events.
The limits of what is thinkable is just limited by the plugins you can write.
EventNinja for the mobile2.0 Conference
Mobile2.0 is the first conference where you can really use EventNinja to get all the info possible, the schedule, twitter messages, etc. There surely will follow many more conferences and events that EventNinja can and will be used at.
