Rent My Stuff

Project Description

Rent My Stuff is a multi-page e-commerce application that allows users to rent other users items.

The way the app works is for a user to log in to an existing one, and browse the availble items for rent. When a prospective renter finds the item that they want, they can place a bid on that item as a request to rent it. The owner of the item will then go to their 'mystuff' page where the item that they own will have a button option called item bids. This item bids button will allow them to see multiple people who want to rent their item based on the schedule and bid price they are willing to pay. The owner can either Accept and Reject that renter for that specific item which based on the renters 'trustworthiness' and/or the bid price they placed.

The other functionality of our app also allows the owner to leave a review for the renter that they rented out the item too after the item is rented back to the owner and similarly a renter can leave a review for that specific item that they rented out from the owner.

Goals and Milestones for the project

Making the app respond to real-time events by implementing web-sockets.
Have a scannable QR code system for when the renter will puck up and drop of the item from the owner. This is to confirm that the renter got the item from the owner, and the renter returned the item back to the owner.
Add a chat feature so that there is a way for the owner and the renter to communicate.
Implement a payment method system such as Stripe in the app.
