M-11 STUDIO

Minimalist E-commerce for wall/street art lovers. Built for MLH 48hrs Hackathon. Inspired by Wynnwood, FL.

The Story:

Third time participating on a hackathon, this time solo. The theme is E-commerce, and I knew right away I wanted nothing that looks or feels like any of the main stream apps. As a minimalist, I purchase quality over quantity, I enjoy clean experiences, and wanted to translate that by stepping out of my comfort zone with this design. The goal is to provide the user with unpolluted visuals,and systematic engagement with a purpose.

The Results

Full stack app, with security taken into account:

• Secured HTTP Headers
• Rate limit against Brute force attacks
• Data sanitization against NOSQL Query Injection
• Preventing params/query polution
• Protection against XSS

Payments processed with Stripe

Email integration with twilio's sendgrid and nodemailer

GoDaddy Registry for domain
