Inspiration
During Christmas and Birthday times, children often get an excessive number of toys, many of which they will not use, going to waste. Many children abandon their toys after a short while, leaving them to collect dust and take up space. Through the use of toySwap children can swap unused toys for more someone else’s more desirable ones. Unused toys would no longer go to waste. Parents will also be able to spend less money on new toys, and instead trade them for other used ones.
What it does
toySwap allows children to swap unused toys in exchange for other toys. It is a trading website in which individuals can list their unwanted toys and view others’ unwanted toys. If they choose, they can offer to trade and the two parties can swap.
How we built it
Back-end: Java and Spark framework, Maven as a build tool, Database: SQLite, Front-end: HTML, used Bootstrap templates as a starting point, Twilio for send text messages
Challenges we ran into
I am still learning how to build websites and it was challenging to build a fully functioning website in only 2 days
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I am proud of the effort that I put in to make the project work and function the way I wanted it to.
What we learned
I learned how to use radio buttons and navigation bars
What's next for toySwap
For future testing I would like to add a function to delete the listings
