#AppGro
**Agricultural Buying Platform**
* * *
Hey there 👋
This is my _latest project_, made with a friend (@Juca ) for a contest. It consists on an app to buy and sell products that are basically taken from the agriculture. Our aim was to **connect sellers with buyers** with any other intermediate, so prices can be lower and you know that is 100% healthy.
  
* * *
###Features:
Some important features to highlight are:
- You can always edit your products or delete them, so if an user buys X quantity, you can change the avaliable quantity and sell that. Also, there is no product limit, you can always add as many as you want
- You can sort and use filters to make your research more accurate
- Server-side written in PHP (API) and MySQL (Database), so it can dinamycally editted without crashing the app
- A fancy notification system to notify users from updates or other things
- The account data is stored online, so you can uninstall the app as many times you want that you will never lose your products
- Contact directly with the seller without any other person in the middle
**Talking about security:**
- The account data (except the password) is stored locally in a TinyDB, but it’s encrypted so anyone will be ably to edit it, as well as the notification system
- To edit password account or any account data, you will have to input first your current password, so if anyone access your phone, he won’t be able to stole your account
- Passwords, as you may suppose, are stored in MD5
- The admins have direct access to the DB, so if any user is faking information, we can delete his account and products, and ban the email
**To do list:**
- Add an email verification system: _This will be the first thing to do, to avoid fake users_
- Add a password recovery system: _So if an user forgots it’s password, we can reset it_
- Support other languages: _Actually, only Spanish is supported_
- Add more units to the products: _Suggest any other unit we could add_
* * *
###Files:
- **Compiled App:** [AppGro.apk](https://www.appgro.ga/files/AppGro.apk) (4.3 MB)
- **Source Code:** [AppGro.aia](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/2X/5/51b4b23c81d0d5e9366a6bb6d7ccb182f048d6f7.aia) (1.2 MB) - _I’ve removed all passwords fron this AIA. Just look to the code_
- **Server Files:** We haven’t published it, sorry. If you wish to develope your own version, talk to me in a PM
* * *
###Special Thanks

- @mika for his SpecialToolsExtension

Thanks, now I’m going to start with this:

> I was going to do it on summer xD My idea was to create a chat app with functions: Private Chat (user to user, with usernames or ID) Group Chat (with different rooms) Help Desk (to support users in-app)
I think that it is going to be more useful for users than AppGro 😅

Looks great! One question, how do you use a server-side written in PHP (API) and MySQL (Database) with Thunkable? Is there a tutorial on how to create a database and connect it to the apps?

Yes, you can take a look to it to get started

Making a PHP API to connect the App with a WebComponent to the Database to get the data

Yeah, you can search in Google for how to communicate with an API, but as every API is different, you will have to make lots of changes

AppGro is in the same situation as #chatable
As some people reported, it’s not working
I was using the same VPS for those apps, so as it went down both apps crashed and doesn’t work
Hopefully, I was able to recover server files, so when I find another server AppGro will became online again at the same time as #chatable

I’ll re-upload again in a few hours
