Founding team:
In the Summer of 2022, Philipp (a Forró dancer from Munich) and his developer friends Paul and Jonas were inspired by the federation’s mission and generously offered to create the “Forró App,” through which we can unite all Forró Events into one community app. They even created an iframe that allows you to display your own events and all festivals on your website, and it will update automatically as events are added to the app.
Paul and Jonas developed all of this for free for the Forró Community even though they are not dancers.
At the beginning of 2024, Jonas and Paul decided they could no longer maintain the app for free, but they were so kind as to forward it to Daniel.
Current Team:
In September 2024 Daniel, Christian (both developers from munich) took over. Michael also from Munich updated the very old dependencies in October, Christian moved our backend from AWS to oracle in March 2025 through which we now don´t have any backend costs anymore. Donations will next be used to improve the app.
