I am thrilled to announce the successful completion of the 3rd Hackathon, where I built a fully functional Furniture Marketplace using Next.js, Sanity CMS, and third-party API integrations.
Defined the primary purpose of the marketplace.
Outlined business goals based on given requirements.
Designed and structured the marketplace schema.
Ensured scalability and user-friendliness in the platform’s design.
