Project Overview
Our team is working with Finger Lakes ReUse to develop a mobile marketplace that encourages the community to donate, reuse, and purchase pre-owned goods. The application is designed to make these processes simple for users of all ages and abilities, featuring large text, strong visual contrast, intuitive navigation, and a streamlined photo-based donation process. To encourage continued participation, the app also incorporates gamification through rewards, points, and visual celebrations.
The platform is being developed with React Native and Expo, supported by a Node.js and Express backend and a PostgreSQL database hosted through Supabase. Stripe is integrated to securely process purchases, with proceeds benefiting Finger Lakes ReUse. The core application and database infrastructure are currently functional, and our team is continuing to connect the frontend and backend components as we work toward a complete prototype and organizational handoff.
