Inspiration

I was inspired to make this by the large amount of old things I have, but the relative difficulty in getting rid of them due to the effort it takes to setup a yard sale.

What it does

YardSeller currently lists various items that people are looking to sell.

How we built it

I built YardSeller using SvelteKit, Typescript, and Firebase.

Challenges we ran into

Initially, I planned to use React Native, but to do unresolved issues, I had to migrate to using SvelteKit. In addition, some of the methods that I had planned to use were not built into Firebase SDK, so I had to improvise.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Having a mostly completed app including the rewrite from one codebase to another was one of the main accomplishments.

What we learned

I learned how to effectively use SvelteKit and new ways of storing data in Firestore in this project.

What's next for YardSeller

I plan to add more search options, primarily filtering by location, and an in-app transaction system.
