Inspiration

Some of us noticed how students at our college had difficultly exchanging goods and services on the crowed news feed of the class Facebook page and we wanted to alleviate this.

What it does

The website offers students to sell and search for commodities as books, car rides, clothes, services, and housing. Our intent was to use Google's Vision and Search APIs to interpret the covers of books.

How we built it

We each divided up the project to design a different portion of it.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into challenges designing the python script to interpret the images as we originally wanted it to. We ran into several issues with PHP not wanting to run on the Ride Share page

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud that we were all able to come together and create a project for, most of us, our first HackPSU.

What we learned

Learned how to write server-side documents in PHP, relearned HTML and Javascript

What's next for HackPSU Fall 2018 - College Exchange

Possibly finishing a ticket exchange and adding a more visually appealing design.
