Improv Finder
A platform to help people find improv groups and activities near them within San Diego county.
Improv Finder is a platform I built to help people interested in doing improv to find and participate in improv groups and activities.
The website is a directory of active improv groups in the Greater San Diego area that makes it easier to find upcoming improv events and be part of the local improv community.
Features
- Up-to-date directory: An index of local improv groups and activities.
- Search: Search to easily find relevant events and groups.
- Group listings: Info on active improv groups including locations and links to their calendar and group details.
- Contribute: Forms to add (and update) improv groups info on the platform.
Deployment Details
- Domain: sdimprovfinder.com
- Status: Live
Development Process
I developed Improv Finder with a user-centric approach, focusing on the core user experience of someone who was looking to find improv activities near them as quickly as possible.
I used the Makestack/Kreos methodology to:
- Track progress up to and beyond v1.0
- Maintain project assets, knowledge and backlogs
- Continuously improve the platform while working on it part-time
Key challenges included ensuring data accuracy and keeping the platform up-to-date, which I addressed by developing simple data validation processes and implementing regular content reviews.
