Transmute v2
> Transmute v2
I previously posted about Transmute, a project I started to experiment with web technologies that I wasn't using professionally. Eventually my ideas evolved, and this second version of Transmute was born.
Rather than building Transmute to act solely as a reference tool, I changed direction to turn it into a full fledged e-commerce platform for buying and selling Magic the Gathering cards. I was considering my options for selling magic cards online one day, and I realized that there is effectively one dedicated service online allowing the everyday user to do this. I decided that it might be profitable to create a competitive service for this niche market.
On Transmute, any user can list their card collection online to sell at prices they determine, with lower fees than eBay, Amazon, and TCG Player. Users can also search for any card and view all listed items by sellers. There is a fully functioning backend for sellers, registration/user system, invoicing system, PayPal integration, shopping cart, database, and search feature.
While still a work in progress, this iteration was built from scratch using PHP, mySQL, HTML, CSS, Javascript, jQuery, PayPal's API, and designed in Photoshop. The current iteration (v3) is being rebuilt based on the same foundation, but updated using the Laravel framework.
What I Did: Concept, Design, Development
