Week 6 – My Listings and Edit Listings Implementation


Overview

This week’s development focus was on completing the My Listings and Edit Listings features for the FoodNextDoor mobile application. These pages enable users to view, update, or delete their food listings, ensuring dynamic control over shared food posts.

The integration of this feature marks a significant step toward completing Sprint 2, as it enhances the user experience by allowing real-time data updates through the database and user-friendly interfaces.


Work Completed

I successfully developed the My Listings page, where users can see all their posted food items, including details such as food name, price, and location. Each listing clearly shows whether it is active, edited, or expired. Users can easily select any listing to make changes or remove it from the system.

I then worked on the Edit Listing page, which allows users to modify the details of an existing post. This includes updating food information, changing availability time, editing allergen information, and uploading new photos. Once a user updates their listing, a success message is displayed to confirm that the changes have been saved successfully.

The delete listing function was also tested to ensure users can remove expired or unwanted items. Additionally, I helped fix minor permission issues in Firebase that were preventing image uploads in the “Add Photo” function. These fixes ensured smooth data handling and real-time updates in the database.

Current Status

With the successful completion of both the My Listings and Edit Listings pages, the app now fully supports all CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) for user listings. The module works seamlessly with Firebase, and all changes made by users reflect instantly.


It was satisfying to see the “Listing updated successfully” confirmation working after several iterations and debugging sessions. Overall, this week’s progress has strengthened the foundation of our project and brought us much closer to achieving the full vision of Sprint 2

Week-5 Report (Food NextDoor)

By -
 Week-5 Report  June 28, 2025 My focus this week was on broadening our project by suggesting an idea that lends itself to our aim of tackling the problems of food waste and food accessibility - a Community Fridge Locator and Booking System. The idea was spurred by Starr's own research into local food-sharing projects, where community fridges are emerging as an increasingly popular grassroots solution. By adding a map-based fridge locator to our system, users will be able to see where there are community fridges near them, what is available or needed at which fridges, and they can even claim space to drop off their food. This sort of system can be very helpful for smaller food businesses or supermarkets, or anyone wishing to give away perishables in a speedy, organised fashion. In our group meeting, we put some thoughts on how this new module may be implemented, and those components include the following: Map Integration (e.g., Google Maps API) to search and visualize community...

Research: Reducing Food Waste with Smart Apps

By -
  Research: Reducing Food Waste with Smart App   June 21, 2025 As part of our Advanced Studio 1 project, our team explored how mobile technology can play a powerful role in reducing food waste and redistributing surplus food to those in need. With increasing concerns about sustainability and food insecurity, we saw an opportunity to use smart app features to build a solution that connects food donors (restaurants, supermarkets, households) with recipients (charities, shelters, and individuals). Key Insights from Our Discussion: 1. Real-Time Donation System A key app feature we discussed is real-time food listing , where businesses can quickly upload surplus food items with expiry times. Users near the location receive instant notifications for pickup—reducing the risk of waste. 2. Smart Matching Algorithm The app should match food donations with the closest verified recipient using filters like food type, quantity, dietary preferences, and pickup time. This improves eff...
