The team plans to launch a built-in module for buying and selling tickets without commission, and is also preparing to update the mechanics of dating in the app in the near future.
 | The idea of SwapMap arose a long time ago, but we did not want to create just an event aggregator, we wanted to make a useful event service that aims to find friends of interest, "says SwapMap founder Georgy Kozhukhovsky. - Our team developed the project concept in detail. The project was gamified using the SwapMap awards and ratings system so that the user was interested in attending new closed events and making useful acquaintances, the application awards awards for participation and organization of events. |  |
