Vitrinali

Challenge

With one-off items, interested buyers often want to discuss condition, provenance or delivery before purchasing. A conventional basket and immediate online payment are therefore not suitable for every product.

Approach and architecture

I designed Vitrinali as a clear catalogue presenting products through images and essential information. It has no user account or online payment flow; contact begins through a direct conversation. The local development environment uses SQLite and the file system, while a future production environment can use PostgreSQL and object storage. Both environments share the same data model.

My contribution

I developed the architecture, data and storage adapters, build process and unit tests.

Outcome and current status

The catalogue prototype is working. Public production use and ongoing content operations have not yet begun.

Available materials

This project is not publicly accessible. I can present selected views and technical details in an appropriate professional discussion.
