Sneaker Sonar

Inspiration

At the start of quarantine, I decided to start reselling in hopes of curing my boredom and making some side income. I know there are many sites out there that provide specific information about shoe releases, but I haven’t found a place that includes all the information in one place, that’s why I created Sneaker Sonar to make the life’s of resellers easy and simple.

What it does

It’s has a sign up and login page backed by the google firebase database. It provides the day the shoe releases, the retail price of the shoe, current resell range for the shoe, and my resell prediction for the shoe. It also acts as a archive for previous releases sorted by month. I also created a discord server for further reselling advice, if a user doesn’t have access to discord right away, they can use the discord widget within my website. Sneaker Sonar is a great way for teens to start reselling instead of being bored currently in lockdown.

How I built it

I built it using html to make the format of the website, JavaScript to make features of the website work, and css to make it look nice. I used 000webhost.com to host it online.

Challenges I ran into

I have no experience using css and at first my website looked similar to ones created in the early 2000s. With hours of going through tutorials and guides, my website now looks similar to ones created in the 2010s. Challenges I had were formatting, picture sizing, and changing styles for buttons and text boxes

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

First time creating a functioning website and that my friends and I actually end up using Sneaker Sonar for reselling needs everyday.

What I learned

I learned how to create buttons, text boxes and images. I used previous knowledge with databases to learn how to make a login page with firebase. I learn how to create charts, links, and logos.

What's next for Sneaker Sonar

Right now Sneaker Sonar supports stockX and goat for our marketplaces but in the future we can add sites like eBay and grailed. I am currently focusing on shoe releases but could also add clothing. I am currently talking to stockX about an affiliate program that can be used in Sneaker Sonar.
