What is Two Carts?
Two Carts is an app for shopping with friends. If you have ever been shopping with a group, you know that it is hard to keep tabs on which items have been purchased by each of your friends. Two Carts solves this problem. You can see a running list of each item each person has added to the cart, and you can keep track of how much each person is paying at the register.
How it Works
Two Carts is super simple throughout the full stack. The client-side is a simple user interface with only a few buttons. We made use of Apple's native, first-party barcode scanning. Additionally, we used the networking capabilities in iOS to communicate with the backend. On the backend, we use PHP and a framework we also wrote to easily access the database.
Why We Did It
We are roommates, and we go shopping together for things we need in our dorm room. Because we share a lot of the items we purchase, we pay on one bill and divide up the purchases afterward by looking through the receipt. We knew there was an opportunity for us to fix this problem, so we just decided to design and code it!
