The goal of our app is to provide a platform to buy and sell textbooks between members of the Hofstra community. It was specifically designed to be easy to use and easy to understand.
- Searchable Textbooks
- Secure Login System
- Wishlist
- Seller's Interface
- Account Modifiers
- Dark Mode
- Immersive GUI
-
Google Firebase was used to provide our entire backend. Since Firebase functions as a backend as a service we were able to utilze it for our database, authentication, encryption and testing.
-
Flutter was used to create our app. We chose Flutter because it allowed for multi-platform development as well as an easy and comprehensive system to build robust features into our app.
-
Google Books API was used to retrieve textbook information based off of the Title, ISBN and Authors.
-
Open Library Covers was used to retrieve cover images of textbooks that we reference within our app.
