Sharing latest events - classes, discussion panels, assignments, and some other

The events should be organized in date wise order.
Also, throwing push notifications for upcoming events.

We gonna use google calendar or a custom one?

[maddhruv]

Google Calendar doesn't have any API for embedding the Calendar into the app.
Moreover, you can find some other kinds of stuff like putting an Add to Calendar button - https://developers.google.com/calendar/

Also, I have found a sample, check if it can help https://developers.google.com/calendar/quickstart/android

[maddhruv]

Like showing events as posts (same as in a blog)?? And setting up alarms for notifications - whenever event is added, a day before the event, and 1-2 hours before the event.

I feel Firebase can be a great option for the same, else if you need more API functions and methods, we can use AWS Lambda with DynamoDB

[prateekvijayvergiya]

I think Firebase would be enough to trigger the notification on the base of the database and it will be easier for other team members because they are already familiar with Firebase.

What all informations for the event we will be displaying on the event card?

[Abhimanyu121]

Umm, upcoming events ? Or all the upcoming events ?
