SAIL is a community-driven wholesale platform that allows users to buy any product at cheaper rate than market by collaboratively placing orders.
Once a product has enough orders placed, our team buys the product in bulk from manufacturers at discounted rates and ships them directly to consumers. We eliminate the middle-man and only bring those products to the platform which are requested by our community.
To run this project on your local machine, you need to consider the following things.
- Create a Firebase account and add a project in the console.
- Generate credentials for an Android App in the project.
- Replace the defunct credentials in
sail-app/app/google-services.json
- Link SHA1 in Firebase to your app to avoid authentication issues.
- Lastly, open the app in Android Studio and let it setup everything.
Farhan Ali single-handedly implemented end-to-end Firebase connectivity and business logic for the app. Furthermore, he implemented the tabbed activities in the app through the use of fragments.
