Vendor Friend

Vendor Friend knows you don't want to waste time waiting in the wrong line. With it, you can avoid that fate by making sure you only go to the vendors you want at a convention.

Comment

Inspiration

We wanted to conveniently reduce the waiting times at vendors when attending big events (e.g. concerts, comic-con, movie conventions)

What it does

It allows vendors to make an account and show their products to convention-goers. Thus, it also allows users to find vendors who sell products that they want.

How we built it

.Net backend, React frontend, deployed with azure, MySQL DB deployed with aws, Using the material-ui api

Challenges we ran into

Most members were not familiar with javascript, which caused a learning curve for React. We tried to use AWS but that did not work because of compatibility issues and we switched to Microsoft Azure.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Establishing a working connection between React and .net frameworks

What we learned

We learned that sometimes a compete overhaul for a different technology is better and easier than brute-forcing a solution.

What's next for Vendor Friend

-Potential for ordering and paying online -Clean UI with images on products
