Dorm Room Dealer
A campus marketplace for buying and selling secondhand goods between students.
A Django marketplace for students to buy and sell secondhand items within their campus — listings with images, accounts, and email-based notifications for enquiries.
Built because the alternative on most campuses is a WhatsApp group where everything scrolls away in a day.
«FILL: Did anyone use it? Number of listings, number of users, whether it ran for a term. A small real number here — “used by ~40 students over one semester” — is worth more than any feature list, because deployed-and-used is the rarest thing on a student portfolio.»
«SECURITY — do this before linking anyone here.
Your README walks through putting a Gmail address and an app-generated password directly into settings.py, and lists five other files where the same address gets hardcoded. Before you point recruiters at this repo:
- Check the commit history for a real credential that got committed. GitHub’s secret scanning won’t catch a Gmail app password.
- If one is in there, revoke that app password in your Google account immediately. Deleting the line from the current file does NOT remove it from history.
- Move the credentials to environment variables and update the README.
This applies whether or not you link the project — the repo is already public.»
