Summary

Denver-based Craft Boom has developed an application called Crafted Here, designed to help users locate independent breweries, distilleries, coffee shops, dispensaries, and wineries nearby. The app, which emerged from the 2013 National Day of Civic Hacking where it won multiple awards, uses the Ionic framework to streamline development and is built as an HTML5 app for cost-effectiveness and flexibility. Crafted Here is focused on enhancing users' experiences in exploring local craft industries like beer brewing, distilling, coffee roasting, cannabis production, and winemaking by providing detailed information on location and operational details. The app is available on both Android and iOS platforms, reflecting continuous improvements and algorithm updates to present users with the best local craft options.
