Inspiration: Students buy books from over priced bookstore every semester. Then, when our semester is over, we accept pennies on the dollar for those books and cycle goes on and on, generating hundreds even thousands for the bookstores.
What it does: Through this website students and other users are able to sell, buy and swap their books among each other. They can sell to other students and can get up to 90% money back, and later this student can also sell his/her book with good price to another student and so on. Also, they can swap a book with another desired book from another user. Another feature is that if they cannot find their desired book in the sell/buy or swap items, they can put it in a wishlist and other user will be able to see the wishlist and send an offer if this user have this book.
How we built it: We used php, html, css and mysql.
Challenges we ran into: Building the plan was challenging as we had to think all the possibilities that can happen to a user.
Accomplishments that we're proud of: This website will be able to help all of the students in the USA and we are proud that we are able to introduce this kind of service.
What we learned: We learned the planning of building any website or any project.
What's next for The Book Swap: Introduce more features so that all of the users especially students will get the best service and can save a lot of money.
