Live site found here: https://detsy.herokuapp.com/

Description

This is a marketplace app. Using this app users can create a profile, list items to sell, shop for items, and communicate with other users on the site. All products listed by a given user will show up on their own personal page, or you can view other users pages. So if you find a seller you like, you can look for other things they sell. The site also contains a search function, for when you’re looking for that special something for a special someone.

Future Developments

• Built in messaging app for security and privacy. • General filters to prevent misuse of application. • Secure payment platform. • Filters to sort products by category/color/size/...etc. • Ability to ‘like’ or ‘favorite’ shops and products. • Add light customization ability to shop pages. • Integrations with social media platforms.

Challenges

One of our members, Paul, was out sick for most of the project. Him working remote added several more communication challenges. Passport was very difficult to set up, and it was challenging to figure out how to connect the database, back to our front-end at the last minute.
