Abstract:
DealOye is an online platform developed to address key challenges faced by college students in India, particularly affordability, resource management, and sustainability. The platform provides a secure and transparent space for students to buy, sell, and share academic resources and other essential items within their college community, thereby promoting cost- effective access and community engagement. The motivation behind DealOye arises from the lack of reliable and college-specific systems for peer-to-peer transactions, which often limits students’ access to affordable educational resources. To overcome these issues, DealOye was implemented as a fullstack, mobile-responsive web application featuring item listings with detailed descriptions and images, along with a secure messaging system for safe communication. College-specific features were incorporated to foster interaction, share campus- related information, and encourage collaboration between senior and junior students. [1] The findings demonstrate that DealOye effectively enhances resource accessibility, reduces financial burden on students, and promotes sustainable practices by encouraging the reuse of materials. Additionally, the platform strengthens campus community interaction and offers students opportunities for skill development and potential revenue generation. Overall, DealOye aligns with broader sustainability goals and exhibits scalability, making it suitable for adoption across diverse college environments.
