Inspiration

E-commerce sites that specialize in selling many types of goods, new or used. We also wanted to create an app that allows these transactions to be done more safely for both parties.

What it does

It displays goods that students want to sell.

How we built it

We used the MERN tech stack which involves using MongoDB Atlas for our cloud-based database, Express for our framework, React for our client side rendering, and Node for our server

Challenges we ran into

Due to time constraints, we weren't able to implement all the features we want

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The database is complete with all API calls which can be used via postman, our frontend also was able to take advantage of some of the API calls we built so we are able to run GET operations to see product listings and a list of active users.

What we learned

We learned what it takes to come up with an original idea and attempt to bring it to real life. We also learned how to work with a database and use API routing to access the database
