Inspiration
With the advent of digital payment apps like PhonePe and GPay, coupons have been proliferating everywhere. Plus, this is one of the no-brainer growth hacks. The issue crops up when there are a lot of coupons that we don't want to use but no proper way to give them away to others or even swap the ones we have with others.
To see that a lot of coupons were getting wasted when someone could have definitely used them drove us to create this platform.
What it does
You Sign up, post coupons to earn credits, and then use those credits to buy new coupons for yourself. That's about it.
How we built it
With React, Node, and Mongo
Challenges we ran into
The coupon redeeming ecosystem is extremely fragmented and there's no standard way to build the redemption module. So for v1 we decided to use just one way using the redeeming code and link.
Update
Redid the auth flow to add Google Login and Forgot Password Flows. Tweaked Filters to add categories for coupons.
What's next for CouponHub
Building the next Groupon - but better.
