Upcoming Events App โ€“ My Entry for DEV's Frontend Challenge: Office Edition

Frontend Challenge Holistic Webdev Submission

Hey DEV community! ๐Ÿ‘‹

I'm super excited to share my submission for the Frontend Challenge: Office Edition hosted by DEV and sponsored by Axero. This challenge celebrates workplace culture and digital collaboration, and Iโ€™ve chosen the Holistic Webdev prompt to build something that brings value to every digital office space: an Upcoming Events App!

๐Ÿง  The Idea: Stay in Sync With Upcoming Events

In any digital office, keeping up with team activities, company-wide events, or even birthdays can be tricky. So I decided to design a clean, responsive "Upcoming Events" interfaceโ€”perfect for an intranet homepage or dashboard widget.

The app helps teams stay on top of:

  • ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ Internal events
  • ๐ŸŽ‚ Birthdays
  • ๐ŸŽค Company-wide webinars
  • โ˜• Standups and meetings
  • โœจ Milestone reminders

๐Ÿ”ง Tech Stack

  • HTML, CSS, JavaScript
  • TailwindCSS โ€“ for utility-first styling
  • Vercel โ€“ for quick and easy deployment

No heavy frameworksโ€”just pure frontend magic with modern tools!

โœจ Features

โœ… Modern Office-Themed UI
โœ… Responsive Layout (mobile + desktop)
โœ… Event Cards with icons and labels
โœ… Event Categories โ€“ distinguish meetings, fun events, and deadlines
โœ… Smooth Hover Effects & Animation
โœ… Future-ready Widget โ€“ easy to plug into a larger intranet app

๐Ÿ’ก Why I Chose This Prompt

The Holistic Webdev prompt inspired me to think beyond a typical UI. I wanted to design a widget thatโ€™s useful, beautiful, and relatable to every remote or hybrid worker. Whether youโ€™re working from a corporate HQ or your kitchen table, knowing whatโ€™s coming up helps teams stay aligned and feel connected.

๐Ÿš€ What's Next?

Iโ€™d love to keep iterating on this and add:

  • ๐Ÿ”” Notifications or Reminders
  • ๐Ÿ“… Google/Outlook Calendar Integration
  • ๐ŸŒ Multilingual support
  • ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Admin dashboard to add/edit events

๐Ÿ™Œ Final Thoughts

This challenge was the perfect excuse to flex some frontend skills and design for the future of work. Huge thanks to DEV and Axero for organizing thisโ€”and for giving us the opportunity to create something office-inspired, yet imaginative.
