Professional Feedback
I love the intent behind your project! You identified a really common, frustrating problem—wasting time visiting stores that don’t have what you need—and designed a great solution to fix it. In my career as a Computer Engineer I focus a lot on how to use technology to create a smooth user experience, and I was incredibly impressed by your choice to include interactive features like geolocation. Using live location data to guide a user straight to a product is exactly how top-tier apps operate in the real world today.
Your project has a lot potential to grow, and for your next iteration, I encourage you to think about how to keep your data "fresh" so it stays accurate. A cool next step would be exploring how to partner directly with local stores so their inventory systems automatically update your app. To see how real apps do this, look up how "APIs" work—they are the digital bridges that allow different systems to share live information instantly. Fantastic job on this design journey, keep building!
