HoosBuying
HoosBuying is a web platform allowing users to post their goods and chat with others to barter and trade!
HoosBuying is a platform designed to allow users to barter and trade belongings they no longer have use for. I love using Facebook Marketplace, and appreciate the convenience it brings to me and other college students. As part of my Databases class, we were given the whole semester to design a product of our own, and I chose to create a platform similar to Facebook Marketplace that is designed with students in mind.
I worked with a partner to develop this application. Our Vue.js frontend interacted with our MySQL database by calling on a RESTful API we developed using Flask. I am most proud of the security features we implemented, including username and password encryption, and manually developing sessions that would ensure the user would be logged out after 10 minutes of no use.
