Inspiration
The problem of food waste is an ongoing worldwide problem. Every day tons of food are trashed because nobody consumed that. But there are always people that need food. In this app, we tried to optimize food consumption by connecting people that do not need the food they bought anymore with people that probably need it.
What it does
Our app allows users to share or sell their food that is about to due. Any user can be as a customer as a salesman. Customers can search through the available food lists and contact to salesman while the salesman can post the food it has.
How we built it
This app consists of two microservices connected via HTTP requests. Each microservice can be easily deployed using docker as well as the database needed for data storing.
Challenges we ran into
The main challenge is a lack of time. We had to cut some of our features and leave only necessary ones. Anyway, with the features, we have now this system is deployable and can be used.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
During our work, we used state-of-art technologies to build a nice, fault-tolerant, and effective application.
What we learned
We learned how to collaborate and parallelize work to build an app from scratch in a small time period.
What's next for See Food
There are a lot of things that can be implemented in our system. We made it flexible as much as possible. Anyway, in the future, we want to add a payment system. After that, we can advertise our app to restaurants and other food organizations to sell their food for people.
