About the App

Meetup Explorer is a React-based web application designed to showcase upcoming meetups from various groups. The app fetches daily updated data from an external JSON file, which is generated by a Python script that aggregates information from a list of meetup groups. This app provides a user-friendly interface for exploring local meetups, displaying event details in an organized, responsive card layout. Features include formatted date displays, expandable descriptions, and links to additional information.
