Skill Share App
A community app for discovering local workshops and learning new skills together.
Background
Skill Share is a community-based app that helps people discover local workshops, learn new skills, and connect with others who share their interests.
Many people want to develop hobbies, gain practical knowledge, or meet like-minded individuals, but struggle to find accessible learning opportunities nearby. The app enables users to discover, join, and share workshops in a simple and social environment.

Learning new skills is often inaccessible and difficult to fit into everyday life.
Many learning platforms focus on long courses or online experiences, making it harder for users to find local, practical, and flexible learning opportunities. As a result, motivation decreases and learning goals are often left unmet.
