The context

CAnime is a bilingual platform for anime fans in Canada, starting with Toronto and the GTA. It brings local community needs into one mobile-friendly product: second-hand trading, posts, activities, convention information and cosplay photography connections.

What I worked on

  1. Shape a bilingual local community

    Build a shared product experience for Chinese- and English-speaking users, with community posts, local activity information and a focus on Toronto / GTA participation.

  2. Connect discovery with communication

    Bring together second-hand listings, cosplay photography bookings and in-app communication, supporting the steps from discovering a listing or service to connecting with another member.

  3. Deliver a mobile-first web platform

    Use Next.js and Supabase for the platform, with a PWA experience that supports access from both desktop and mobile browsers.

What it delivers

  • A live bilingual community platform at canime.ca.
  • Connected spaces for community posts, local activities, trading and photography bookings.
  • A mobile-first PWA experience with in-app communication.

The platform connects online community participation with local interests and activities.
