An app for students in the University of Ghana

UGnet🎥

A flutter app ui that that organizes various avenues(class group chats, announcement feed, school website, etc.) used by ✨college students✨.

App In Use

ugnet.mp4

Motivation 🤔

It is quite difficult to get around college with all your tasks written somewhere, announcements coming from gmail and random whatsapp groups(usually created by students to prevent missing the memo)...

... but what if we can get all in one app?🤔
