Overview

Plaza is a mobile application that serves as an online marketplace for buying and selling second-hand items. It displays thousands of products within the user's locale, enabling easy access to desired items without the need for long-distance travel. The app is designed for effortless use, with a simplified interface that provides detailed information about each product.

Interface and Usability

Upon opening the Plaza app, users are presented with a comprehensive list of advertisements, each complete with a photo, item name, price tag, distance to the seller, and the duration for which the item has been on sale. By selecting an item, users can access a succinct description provided by the seller, and view their exact location on an integrated map. The interface's simplicity is one of the key strengths of the Plaza app, making it accessible and straightforward for all users.

Search and Communication Features

Plaza includes a search bar that allows users to look up specific items. Alternatively, users can select a location on the map to explore what's for sale in that particular area. Upon finding an item of interest, the app facilitates direct contact with the seller for any inquiries. Additionally, users can browse other items being sold by the same vendor, providing a wider scope for potential purchases.

Selling on Plaza

Alongside its buying features, Plaza also enables users to sell their own items. By simply uploading a picture, writing a brief description, and setting a price, users can have their advertisement ready in mere minutes.
