What is Cup of Sugar?

Cup of Sugar is a localized, community-oriented application that aims to bring neighbors closer together by fostering connections based on mutual aid. Users can post offers and requests to a public bulletin board, where other users can respond by post comments or messaging other users privately.

Features

1. Authorization system allows users to:

   • Securely register with their information and an optional avatar image.
   • Login to their neighborhood, localized by zip code.

2. Requests and Offers System allows users to:

   • Post requests and offers on the Community Bulletin, a searchable and sortable board containing all posts within their zipcode.
   • Filter the bulletin to only show request or offer posts they created.
   • View other user's posts, and comment on them.
   • Mark their own posts as resolved when they wish to retract an offer or have their request fulfilled.

3. Messaging System allows users to:

   • Communicate 1 on 1 with other users in their neighborhood.
   • Access the messaging system by looking up other users in their neighborhood or via other user's posts and comments.
