Excella Central

Excella Central is a project developed by the JavaScript Specialty Area of Excella Labs. The purpose is to bring Excellians together, familiarizing employees with each other in a fun & interactive way. Using Ionic Pro, we have created a native in-house mobile app for iOS & Android, as well as a Progressive Web App (which can be found at https://central.excellalabs.com).

This application works in conjunction with our LoopBack server at https://github.com/excellalabs/excella-central-server.
