Inspiration
In order to try to solve the annual struggle of having to bake many different types of cookies for christmas, this program allows our users to bake a big batch of one type of cookie, and then trade the excess for different types of cookies made by other bakers!
What it does
The app enables users to exchange their excess cookies for cookies offered by other cookies. The exchange system allows users to specify which type of cookie and the quantity they are wishing to exchange, and matches each bid/offer with the best match.
How we built it
The frontend of the app was built using flutter, in addition to the artistic skill of the team. The backend ///TODO
Challenges we ran into
Probably the biggest challenge that we were faced with was to establish a working exchange system which avoids the use of a currency. The value of cookies is difficult to gauge and emotional value plays a big role in determining the value a user places on them. Hence we came up with a system that tries to find matches that allow the greatest possible amount of matches made
Accomplishments that we're proud of
What we learned
What's next for cookieXchange
Our app allows for a great volume of additional analytics to be implemented in the future, potentially providing valuable insights into barter systems and markets which work without currencies.
