Inspiration

There was an idea to build an e-commerce website targeting college towns such as UIUC to make up for the various difficulties they face in areas such as shipping times and decentralized secondhand markets over social media. This stemmed into the idea of having an open source platform to develop any multi-vendor platforms requiring user to user interaction.

How we built it

  1. Frontend: react, quill, bootstrap, next.js
  2. Backend: Postgres, Prisma,

Challenges we ran into

The main challenges we faced revolved around linking frontend and backend.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of not only creating an MVP for our framework but also learning a lot more about databases through mentors and mistakes. We have learned a lot more about full-stack development through our project.

What's next for Framework for Multi-level vendors

We want to continue to work on our project at two levels. First is to make it more accessible and easier to implement for new developers. The other is to expand this into our own set of business projects.

integrating google SSO for users to 'login' and automatically create DB entries. Concerns:

  1. Migrating from docker compose to swarm or possibly look into hosting over AWS using the free 1 year trial.
  2. Fixing bugs arising while implementing onLoad on frontend. Others listed in doc
