Inspiration
GiveHub was inspired by a combination of the Nextdoor app (social media for local communities) and eBay.
What it does
GiveHub creates an easy and intuitive way to sell unwanted items to other in your local community while encouraging building bonds between others in your community.
How we built it
This project was created using React Native for Android with Typescript and Firebase for storage and authentication.
Challenges we ran into
It took a while to setup the project due to installing emulators and needing to setup the development environment. In addition, the project is currently not functional due to dependency issues.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I am proud of being able to mostly work out the project, as this was my first project for mobile devices using React Native.
What we learned
I learned to use React Native with my typical web development technologies to create a mobile application.
What's next for GiveHub
I plan to fix the launching issues and implement more sophisticated features like in-app transactions and in-app messaging.
