Web App: Project 9

This was a fun small side project inspired by the Microsoft POC and a mashup between Facebook, social media feeds and events. I had a vision that event attendees and fans could collaborate and share media, news and happenings directly at and during a live event.

This was one of my first code based implementation of a “live” timeline. The app was PHP based with a mySQL DB, the UI was all custom designed and coded.

Web App: Momz.co.za

Shortly before Charlotte being born, I recognized that there were quite a few US websites focused on support moms going through their journey of pregnancy, and the early years of of raising kids. Trying to emulate this for the South African market and emerging internet base, I built momz.co.za.

The page title was “Helping South African Moms with pregnancy, recipes, food, forums, safety and kids”
