The Drala Mountain Center App was made in association with Drala Mountain Center. The App allows users to see scheduled programs, meditate with a meditation timer, view videos embeded in the app, view their meditation stats, view images of DMC, and donate to DMC via their website. The dmc_back_end application provides a single GraphQL endpoint with all app information. The team chose GraphQL for the simplicity of having a single endpoint with the capability to be flexible and efficient when handling queries from the front end application. The front end application was built with React Native in order to provide the option to deploy on IOS and Android.
