Inspiration
A lot of us needed formal or specific outfits for things like interviews or school presentations, but didn’t want to spend money buying clothes we’d only wear once. At the same time, we knew friends who had decent clothes just sitting in their closets. We thought: why not make it easier to borrow or rent clothes from each other?
And that’s how we got the idea for DripDaddy. It’s a student-based clothing rental platform where people can list and rent clothes from one another.
What it does
DripDaddy lets users:
Browse outfits posted by other students
List their own clothes for rent (with images, price, etc.)
View and manage their listings and rentals
The platform is built to be simple and familiar but made for clothes and students.
How we built it
- With love and passion
- Frontend: Built with Next.js and TypeScript, styled using Shadcn
- Backend: Django
- Database: Hosted on Supabase
Challenges we ran into
- Learning how to connect backend with frontend smoothly
- Styling components consistently across pages while balancing speed and flexibility
- Designing a clear user flow for listing and renting without making it overwhelming
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- We got the full listing and browsing flow working across users
- Successfully integrated frontend with backend for real-time outfit display
- Designed a clean, minimal interface tailored to students
- Set up a working database schema to manage listings, users, and rentals
What we learned
- How to build a full-stack project using Django + Next.js
- How to manage a shared project using Git and GitHub effectively
- Basics of cloud deployment and environment setup
What's next for Group 10
