Halloween Auction House

Have you ever wondered what you're going to do with all the candy that you're not going to eat? Give it to your family? NO, you need to sell it and make a profit using our auction platform.

Inspiration

We were inspired by the Demonhacks and Geneva trading problem statements, and our goal was to learn some front end skills and to create a working solution

What it does

We created a website that has a landing page that displays listings. It allows buyers to bid on displayed listings.

How we built it

We used HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and a lot of YouTube tutorials

Challenges we ran into

Because we were learning front end for the first time, we were running into a lot of difficulty with finding the tools and functions that we needed to make our website. It was like building a house and not even knowing what a hammer is.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're really proud that we gave ourselves a daunting task, but we really put effort into trying to learn these new languages and simultaneously create a product by scraping together all the tutorials we referenced.

What we learned

On top of learning a lot about front end development, we learned a lot about what hackathons are structured like and the amazing learning and outreach opportunities that they can provide.

What's next for Halloween Auction House

We would like to try and learn how to implement some backend functions like user login, keeping track of a users listings and their available currency, and automatically sorting through listings once they expire.
