Meetup in the Making
summary
Meetup undergoes a full rebrand and Android redesign backed by concrete choices: nine leadership interviews and 20 user interviews inform a new design constants system stored in a living Google sheet; Sketch drives visuals, a React Native prototype uses real API data to validate the home screen, and two‑week sprints coordinate work. iOS is rebuilt in Swift while Android is refactored; RSVP uses a bottom sheet not FAB or map, messages and notifications merge, internationalization covers six languages across 178 countries for 27 million members.
