Abstract
The rapid adoption of e-commerce has transformed how students access goods
and resources. However, existing platforms often fail to address the specific
needs of campus communities, where students face challenges such as financial
constraints, lack of access to affordable goods, and inefficient resource
circulation. This research proposes ShareSpace, a localized web application
designed specifically for college students to facilitate the buying, and
selling of mainly second-hand goods. By addressing imbalances like surplus
items left behind by seniors and shortages experienced by juniors, ShareSpace
promotes sustainability and affordability within the campus ecosystem.
Leveraging modern technologies such as Node.js, React.js, and MongoDB, the
project demonstrates the feasibility of creating a student-centric e-commerce
solution. The study highlights how ShareSpace solves the challenges of
economical pricing and content moderation using proposed solutions. This study
also explores the limitations of existing solutions and evaluates the potential
of ShareSpace to encourage sustainable consumption and resourcefulness among
students.
