Text Traders

The revolutionary Book Exchange platform for passionate readers.

The problem Text Traders solves

This project is specifically designed for ardent readers who are willing to read new books without actually purchasing it. It gives the readers access to a wide variety of books which can be accessed by the users all over the world for FREE. We follow 3 B's policy that is Buy, Borrow and Barter.
Buy - Users buy books for them to read
Borrow - After they are done reading, they can exchange their books via our platform with any other book that is already listed on the site. They can contact the user and can mutually exchange their books and after reading can return the books as well.
Barter - We are following the traditional barter system where no currency involved. This feature is more beneficial for academic purpose wherein students of higher classes can give their books to the lower classes students and thus following the cycle, they inturn will get their next year's books.

Challenges we ran into

-Since we all are at home, it was difficult for us to manage and collaborate with each other.
-Integrating Database with the frontend
-Learning different technologies
-Signup and Login feature
-Storing User book info
