Inspiration

As we know, trick-or-treaters may not always get the candy they prefer. Whether it be for allergies or simply not liking candy corn, we understand what it can feel like! That is why we came up with a way to ensure everyone gets the candy they prefer!

What it does

Parents can create an account and show off their candy stash. They can trade candy with other parents to ensure their children get the sweets they love! Parents are notified of the nearest police station to ensure there is a safe transaction!

How we built it

MERN stack! React.js for the frontend! Express.js/Node.js for the backend. MongoDB for the database.

Challenges we ran into

Being time-constrained! New framework! Getting the backend to communicate with the frontend! The overall design and concept of the platform!

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Getting a site up that is visible! Getting a feature working! Team collaboration!

What we learned

React! Express.js! MongoDB! Auth0!

What's next for Candy Trading Place

Implementing the rest of the features that were planned such as automatic matching, preferences, filtering, visual map, location matching
