Bargain Swipes

Tinder Inspired Shopping

What does it do?

  • User Authentication System
  • Allow the posting of items to sell.
  • Viewing items for sale

For the Future

Although currently lacking in functionality, the restful API structure of the backend gives this project potential to become a mobile app. In fact, a mobile app was the initial goal, however the learning curve proved to be too steep to master in the time allotted. We also would likely move the database system to a SQL database.

Structure

  • Backend
    • Python Flask restAPI
    • JSON database plan to move to sql database in future
  • Frontend
    • HTML, CSS, Javascript Website
    • includes bootstrap

Issues

  • No comprehensive input validation.
  • Security features not implemented
  • Swipe feature not implemented

Challenges

  • New Technologies
    • First full HTML/JS/CSS website for some (success)
    • First time working with Flask backend (success)
    • First deployment of a website with backend(failure)
    • First time trying React-Native (failed)
