The Problem
Usable household items are frequently discarded while other people may need them. A simple platform was needed to make reuse and free-item discovery easier.
The Approach
Built a web application where authenticated users can create and browse listings for reusable household items, with backend APIs handling user access and item data.
Architecture
The application uses a web frontend connected to MongoDB-powered backend APIs. Authentication protects user access and supports secure item-listing interactions.
Key Features
- —Secure user authentication
- —Household-item giveaway listings
- —Browse items available for reuse
- —MongoDB-backed item and user data
- —Backend API for application data management
Technical Challenges
Designing an intuitive listing and discovery flow while keeping account access and item-management operations secure.
Result
Produced a functional reuse-focused platform that helps connect donors with people seeking free household items.
Learnings
Improved understanding of building CRUD-based full-stack applications, authentication flows and MongoDB-backed REST APIs.
