Inspiration

After doing a quick research on the internet I found that there's no e-marketplace specifically developed for eco-friendly and that inspiration lead me in accomplishing this project.

What it does

It's an e-marketplace where sellers can promote their eco-friendly products to the respective audience

How I built it

After brainstorming the idea, first I started developing the front end because I knew that surely I don't have enough time left. Then during the remaining time, I developed the backend which is a REST API as much as I can during the remaining time and connected it to the front end.

I have used the following tools and technologies in this project

  • React.Js
  • Express.Js
  • MongoDB
  • AWS Simple Storage Service
  • TailwindCSS
  • Auth0

Challenges I ran into

The biggest challenge I had to face was the timing since I started the development bit late(20 hours before the deadline). Also, this was the second time I used Auth0 in a project and I had to research it too.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

It's been a long time since I submitted a project to a hackathon and It's always a great feeling

What I learned

  • Using Auth0 in a full-stack project
  • How OAuth works

What's next for GreenSale

As I said earlier I couldn't complete the project on time. So first I'd finish it and make it production ready. Next, I'll think of implementing functionalities such as

  • Online ordering
  • A blog
  • Stock management etc.
