We were just brainstorming ideas when we recalled that we all needed a printer once but we didn't have one and we didn't really want to buy one, and so we came up with the idea to build a site that allows people to borrow each other's items.

Displays a list of items that people are willing to share for a minor price.

We planned on using HTML/CSS/Flask for the front end, and firebase for the database.

3/4 of the team were first time hackathoners and so we didn't have enough knowledge and experience to build the site within the span of a day or 2.

So far we managed to build the front end and integrate some of the flask components, however we did not manage to build and link all the components of the Restful API.

With help from Presmo, we learned that our site needed to follow the Restful API format which helped us know where to begin. And so we managed to learn how to use flask in the front end as well as learning how to use git and github in collaborating in coding projects.

Completing the site, publishing it, developing the mobile applications and spreading the word about the system.
