Flash is an iOS (and future Android app) that provides users with a list of deals in products they are interested in. Once you click on a deal, you get 5 minutes to decide whether you want it or not. Deals are obtained from Shopify merchants through a Shopify App I am currently building using Node.js and Express. The project was started at Hack The North, 2015.
The app is built using Facebook's React Native.
-
It begins by authenticating users through Facebook's Oauth.
-
User is redirected to their Facebook account for requesting permissions to view their email address and get unique token.
-
Once they click 'Start Buying', they are shown a list of products which have great discounts.
-
If the user finds a product they're interested in, they click on it and a 5 minute timer begins. They can either go 'Back' or click 'Buy Now'. After 5 minutes, the user is redirected to the list.
-
Once they click 'Buy Now', they pick size, colour, other variations, etc.
-
Using Braintree's API, the user then pays for the product with one touch!
I'd love help on the front end/UX of the app. If you'd like to join in on the project, email me at [email protected] or make a PR. Thanks!
