Little Discount Shop is a fictitious e-commerce platform where merchants and admins can track sales, manage inventory, and fulfill customer invoices. This project was created in two parts over the course of two weeks. Extensions added later include general authentication for users, Google OAuth2 login, authorization, and the server-side API. The backend and API were created using Ruby on Rails, and the frontend was styled with the help of Bootstrap.
