Inspiration

We have been reselling for years and we wanted an easy way to keep track of our inventory and the costs associated with obtaining these items.

What it does

Sole Track keeps track of the items that you have by adding them to a list. Once these items are added to your list then it will add up the total costs of all the items. There is also functionality to remove them.

How we built it

We built it using React.

Challenges we ran into

The main challenge we ran into was finding a way to scrape information off of StockX and another issue was the time frame. Initially we wanted to show the market value of an item that a user added through StockX's last sale of the item relative to the item's size. But due to the time frame we couldn't learn how to scrape information off of StockX in time using Node. We already had our hands full with learning React.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud that we could even create anything and attempted to learn React.

What we learned

Learned how to use React and how much of a pain it is to learn how to scrape information.

What's next for Sole Track

We want incorporate Node within Sole Track in the future to get the last sale price of a certain item from StockX. We want to do this by web scraping using Node and with this information we can also create a graph showing the real time value of a user's items based on the resell value.
