Description

The machine project for this course is to make a web application of your choice based on the specification required.

Specifications

The web application must have the capabilities of a CRUDS application.

Features required for all web applications:

1. Log-in and Log-out
2. Register

CRUDS (Simplified)

1. Create - Create web content
2. Read - Read web content
3. Update - Update web content
4. Delete - Delete web content
5. Search - Search web content

Web App Description

The web application was inspired by a private Facebook group called Home Buddies, which at the time of the web app's creation has over 3 million members. The Facebook group’s posts cover different topics and purposes, however, the group decided to take on the idea of sharing “budol finds”, which are items that were bought and enjoyed by home shoppers. The web application’s main aim is to provide a platform of consolidated “budol finds” for shoppers to make sharing and finding items easier, rather than a general Facebook group page. Through the web application, shoppers are given a better shopping experience as items they wish to buy are items suggested by fellow shoppers. It also makes it easier to shop as items are organized by categories and provided with a link or destination on where it can be bought. The web application would require a user to create an account before they are able to share their finds. The user can then create a post containing what they bought, where to find it, and a media attachment of the item. The website would have a user page, home page/timeline, and different pages organized by item category (e.g.: ‘Women’s Clothing’, ‘Men’s Clothing’, ‘Home’, ‘Pet Supplies’, etc.).
