Unboring KW
Unboring KW is a personal project for fun and community!
During my maternity leave in 2022, I discovered how easy it is to become isolated as a parent, despite living in a growing city with lots of events and things to do. I found it difficult to keep track of all the programs and events put on by the City, local libraries, businesses, and community centres. So as I was getting ready to go back to work, I created Unboring KW as a way to rediscover my passion for web development and also to solve the problem that I and many other parents have of staying engaged in the community with our kids in tow!
Unboring KW is a mobile-friendly website that includes:
- family-friendly event listings
- directory of activities to do in the region
- interactive maps of local playgrounds, splashpads, and public art
- directory of summer camps
- a blog
As time goes on I plan to add more features to the website, such as:
- a business directory of local businesses targeting families and kids
- user accounts so people can bookmark resources and create their own collections
- email newsletters and notifications so people can get reminded about upcoming events
The technical stuff
Currently the key components of Unboring KW are as follows:
