Futureshop is a search marketplace for clothing made more sustainably, with lower environmental footprint.
I’ve always been a very “conscious consumer”, but I also am acutely aware of the extra effort it takes. I don’t mind the effort, of course, but I know lots of people who would love to shop more “sustainable” if it were just at least almost as convenient as otherwise.
The thesis behind Futureshop is that if customers are given a broad search experience of pre-qualified products, they will use it.
Initial prototyping was built on the Bubble no-code system, before switching to Django for extensibility, control, and scale.
The Django front-end accesses a MongoDB database using Atlas Search. The database is populated by a custom-built Scrapy scraping platform.
Tools:
- Django
- Bootstrap
- MongoDB
- Scrapy
- Digital Ocean
- PlanetScale MySQL
