Conscious, an anti-food-waste web app
Web app for selling anti-waste meal baskets, built as a team with Spring Boot.
The project
As part of my 3rd-year Computer Science bachelor’s, we built a web app for selling meal baskets to fight food waste. It’s a topic we cared about, and it made for a school project that felt more concrete than usual, which meant the team was pretty motivated.
In a team of three students, we followed an Agile (Scrum) workflow where each member explored the whole chain, from design to development. The idea was for everyone to get more versatile, especially so we wouldn’t be stuck if someone was missing.

Takeaways
We shipped on time, even though our urge to explore ambitious technical features cost us time. This project taught me a lot about team management, prioritization, and how the web works through Spring Boot. Obviously, we could have been more reasonable on scope upfront, but that’s typically a lesson you only learn by running into it.
