Project Goals
The primary goal of Justenbas is to enhance community engagement by bridging the gap between local businesses and residents. The app aims to help users discover and stay informed about their local shops, including new products and exclusive offers.

Design Process
The design process for Justenbas involved several key stages, including user research, wireframing, and prototyping. Initially, we conducted surveys and focus groups with both consumers and local business owners to understand their needs and preferences. Based on this research, we created wireframes to visualize the app’s layout and user journey. After refining the design through user feedback, we developed interactive prototypes to test functionality and usability, ensuring a seamless experience for both users and merchants.
Technologies Used
Justenbas was developed using a combination of modern web technologies to ensure optimal performance and user experience. The app was built using React Native for cross-platform compatibility, allowing it to run smoothly on both iOS and Android devices. The backend is powered by Node.js and Express, ensuring a robust and scalable server-side solution. We utilized MongoDB for the database, enabling efficient data management. Additionally, Firebase was integrated for real-time notifications, enhancing user engagement with timely updates from local businesses.
