More than just your ordinary platform for buying, trading and selling, buyDeis is an app designed to cater for Brandeis students to connect with each other through their presence of the creations and goods that they sell online. Every semester, people throw out perfectly good products just because they do not want to bring them home or simply do not need them. buyDeis aims to match resources for Brandeis people and help out students that cannot afford new products, as well as promote sustainability on our campus.
When entering buyDeis, users are allowed to create posts to sell/trade and see the feed for items that are available for purchase or exchange. The platform allows users to message each other for products and socializing, and gives users the option to search for specific items or users. On top of that, users can perform transactions on products(in progress) and leave reviews for them so they can build credibility(in progress).

- Mailboxer: Mailboxer allows any object created with a acts_as_messageable property to have a mailbox. This means they can send and receive messages. The can also have conversations with other users. This is implemented with the messages and conversations controllers and views
- Active storage: Active storage allows us to upload files, in our case images, and store the data of the files. By default, it stores the data locally, which why we used google cloud to store it on the cloud.
- Google cloud storage: We used google cloud storage and created a bucket to store all images uploaded on the site. We added this to our storage.yml file with the specific encryption data given by google so all images stored in the site are saved.
