Starving Student App (clone)

Starving student cards are full of awesome coupons and deals, but they're bulky it's easy to just leave it at home rather than carry it around with you.

So lets turn it into an app since we all have our phones on us anyway.

Overview

We're going to build an app around the idea of providing easy access to local deals for students. To do this we're going to be creating a hybrid app to be able to write code once, and have it work for iOs and Android right out of the gate. We are also going to create an admin portal to allow for content management so that the deals are always up-to-date and never stale.

Proposed Technologies

App

• Hybrid App using Ionic and Capacitor. Ionic can currently be used with Angular, React, or Vue.

Backend/Database

• Firebase for serverless backend, data storage, and admin portal hosting.

Proposed Features

1. App

   • View deals
     • sort by category, name, distance
   • Favorite a deal
   • View location of deal
   • Geofencing for deal redemption i.e. within 1 mile of location

2. Admin Portal

   • Web app that allows an admin to add, remove, or update deals including image, expiration, uses, etc.
