I Built a Free Offline-First Event Operations Platform at 13. Here's Why the Architecture Is Different.
A 13-year-old developer created PlanIt, a free offline-first event operations platform designed to address coordination failures during events. Unlike traditional event software that relies on constant internet connectivity, PlanIt allows for uninterrupted check-in and real-time communication among staff. The platform emphasizes ease of use with features like PIN-based staff authentication and instant synchronization across devices.
