Capstone project for the BrainStation Full Stack Web Development April-June 2021 course.
Linking professionals working remotely or dealing with the transition back to office life with users nearby who are already going to the shop, for when that low blood sugar hits and concentration drops.
Sometimes there is simply no chance to break from meetings to pop to the shop for a packet of crisps, so being able to request a snack from someone nearby who is already going, avoiding a minimum charge and outrageous delivery fee will save the day. Other people might live in a village where the nearest shop is a 10 minute drive away, and it is simply not economical to go all that way for a chocolate bar.
Targeting the WfH demographic to save time, reduce transport emissions, and minimise wastage from impulse buying. Furthermore it could aid the sick, the elderly and people otherwise limited in their capacity to travel, promoting community.
