Creating a shared ecommerce iOS app

“

- I have an amazing idea for a business. Imagine a service like Uber, but for lawn-mowing. Genius, right? And you know exactly what I mean. The concept of shared eCommerce has entered our collective vocabulary. People have lawns and other people have mowers, let's bring them together. But how? I'm Bear Cahill, Head Binary Sequencer at Brainwash Inc. Let's look at using technology to solve the problem of organizing data. Accounts, geographic data, mapping, updates. It's what apps are great at. We'll use AWS for the backend. Cognito will allow the users to create accounts and log-in. DynamoDB will be our database. And for reading and writing to it, AppSync will create an API for us. Amplify's command line interface will walk us through it all and even generate some code for us in the app. Our app will use some AWS CocoaPods, including one for the log-in screen, but we'll still have to do some coding ourselves. We'll create table entries on the server, and also fetch them to display in a table view. We'll use core location to get the user's location to send to the server and to push to another user's map view, in real time. I'm excited to build this app with you, and we'll never have to mow our yards again. (popping)
