The story

From a school project to an app used every day.

Where it started

A school project that became a real app.

In my final year of high school, I had to build a project for my computer science class. At the same time, several friends kept telling me that the official app was confusing and unpleasant to use.

I decided to make it my topic: designing a simpler way to check the Montpellier network. The prototype then kept evolving until it became the app available today.
