Inspiration

Student ticket scams are common when trying to quickly sell tickets online through apps like snapchat. We had an idea to create a service that would act as a middleman and take the risk out of trying to sell tickets online.

What it does

We provide a web service that helps make ticket transfers seamless and quick. You can put up a sell offer and people can immediately buy the tickets or buyers can request to buy at a lower price.

How we built it

• Frontend: We are using HTML, CSS, JS servered through NGINX.
• Backend: NGINX reverse-proxy and static file CDN, Django server, PostgreSQL database
• Deployment: Dockerized NGINX, Django, PostgreSQL running under docker-compose.

Challenges we ran into

We originally setup MongoDB Atlas for our database but learned that noSQL databases weren't officially supported in django, causing conflicts in django, so we switched over to a SQL database, specifically PostgreSQL.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Learning multiple frameworks in a short timespan and having a functional prototype.

What we learned

How to collaborate using git.

What's next for SeatStock
