The need
One-of-a-kind costumes have no fixed price. Running their auctions manually over social media makes bids and outcomes hard to track.
What it does
The owner can list one-of-a-kind pieces and launch timed auctions. Customers place bids in real time, and the platform records the highest eligible bid when the session closes.
My role
- Real-time bidding flow and session state
- Administrative tools for listings and auctions
- Customer bidding experience
Status
In development for a FireFly Stack client.
What I learned
Reliable auction closing requires one server-authoritative clock so every bidder sees the same result.
