Inspiration

Walking through my home, I noticed how much useful stuff was just sitting idle — old books, lamps, furniture. Selling them felt like too much effort. I wanted to fix that.

What it does

Haraji is a mobile app that lets you sell unwanted household items in seconds. Just snap a photo, add a price, and list it. Buyers nearby can browse and purchase instantly.

How I built it

  • Designed the UI/UX with simplicity in mind — minimal taps to list an item
  • Built the frontend using React Native for cross-platform support
  • Used Firebase for real-time database and user authentication
  • Integrated image upload via cloud storage

Challenges I faced

The biggest challenge was making the listing flow feel effortless. Too many steps and users drop off. I iterated multiple times to get it down to three taps: snap, list, sell.

What I learned

Speed and simplicity are everything in consumer apps. The fewer decisions a user has to make, the better the experience.
