Our work

Creation of an electronic version of the Science Picnic 2023 map optimized for mobile devices.

Technology

Backend

.NET 6

Database

PostgreSQL

Frontend

React 18

Challenge

The goal was to make it easier for participants to navigate the Picnic site (the National Stadium) and to help them find the exhibitors they were interested in. It was also necessary to prepare an UI design and adapt the map background and illustrations from the print version.

Due to the large number of graphic elements, it became a challenge to optimize the solution's performance so that users, especially those with older devices, do not experience slowdowns in the application's operation.

Result

Content Management

As a result of the involvement of our entire team, we managed to create a functional map of the Picnic based on our custom-made CMS (Content Management System).

Accessibility

The map is fully accessible, allows you to set high contrast and turn off the animations. Thanks to this, people with disabilities are able to use the map without any difficulties.

Performance

Numerous optimizations and the use of Progressive Web App technology allowed the application to achieve a Lighthouse scoring of 91/100!

Key features

Features that allowed the product to reach its goals.

Polish and Ukrainian language support

PWA (Progressive Web App) technology allows the application to operate in offline mode

Possibility to locate user's position on the map by scanning QR codes located in the Picnic area

Demonstrations, stands and institutions browser with search feature

Ability to save the tour route after logging in

❞

The cooperation with Digimuth was exemplary. Our needs related to the map were met, the company actively proposed improvements and until the very end - also on the day of the event - I could count on the full support of Digimuth
