ROCKFORD (WIFR) — Instead of going online to find out information on events we may soon be able to just click on an app.

Saturday web developers and designers met up at EIGERlab to work on creating an app for the EDEEN Network.

The app will let us know about what’s happening right here in our community so we can get more involved.

The work is a continuation of the Open Tech Challenge last fall when the IT experts came up with plans for three apps. This is the first one that will actually be finished.

“Even a company opening a new grand opening, something like that, that they’d be able to get that story out, and that also the successes from events and things happening can be easily shared with anybody who’s interested,” App creator Michael Hopkins, said.

The requested URL /contents/links.php was not found on this server.

That app will hopefully be up and running soon.
