Secretshop 🎮

Secretshop is an one-stop online marketplace where users can put up listings to buy, trade or sell console games. We built Secretshop because we noticed the absence of a peer-to-peer platform for avid gamers in Singapore to exchange second-hand video games.

We are currently taking a break from the development of this project.

Features ✨

• Search through hundreds of listings using our filters
• Create your listings by simply by signing up and filling up a form
• Add a wishlist on your profile page and check out what others have in their inventory!
• Notify sellers you are interested in their listing using our realtime chat feature

Tech Stack ⚙️

Secretshop was built using the following open source framework and libraries:

• ReactJS - Library for building front end UI components
• Express - Fast Node.js network app framework
• NodeJS - Evented I/O for the backend
• MongoDB - One of the most popular non-relational databases for web apps
• Socket.IO - Enables realtime, bi-direction communication between web clients and servers
