The time has come.
Like a hibernating bandicoot emerging from its underground abode to hunt its ferocious hunger away, Augie Marketplace is almost ready to be unleashed on the public (in a controlled setting of course. So more like a hunting bandicoot in captivity, being oogled at by parents trying to keep their kids from jumping into the enclosure).
Now, I may know absolutely nothing about bandicoots, as displayed in the last paragraph, but I do know this app is coming together gorgeously. Let me explain.
Our core functionality is looking good, meaning we are finishing up sprint 1 with a bit of breath left. A new user can:
1) Create a profile (gotta have that social media presence. Won't be long before the Kardashians all have profiles)
2) The profile can be added to the database (don't want to lose track of any of those cheap book options)
3) Add a book to be sold (complete with all its info, such as title, author, and tensile strength)
4) Search for a book you are looking for (For example, search Everyone Poops by Taro Gomi, and you'll see that three people are selling this book. Spoiler - they are all me. I only need one copy.)
The aesthetics are not quite where we would like them to be. But what blog has that by the first demo?
For now, we are pleased with providing a fast, effective way of finding the books you need for next trimester, and viewing the options available.
The next step - the buying/selling functionality. All the ingredients are there, so the pieces will fall into place without too much trouble. For now we are confident we will knock their socks off in the demo.
Some more functionality that is on the way:
1) Editing your profile easily
2) Viewing books with a filter, such as how recently they were added to the app
3) Setting up a rendezvous with a buyer
4) Possibly a way to purchase over the app
All this an more! Stay tuned! Don't go away!
