EDUSPREAD
Context
when? where? who? why?
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet or excite you. Books help us understand who we are and how we are to behave. They show us what community and friendship mean; they show us how to live and die.”Anne LamottResearch has shown that increasing access to books improves academic performance and attitudes toward reading and learning. But it can be costly for some people who have a low revenue to buy a lot of books to learn. That is why ,we decide to create EDUSPREAD so that people with a low income can enjoy reading a lot of books without spending huge amount of money.
Target
for whom?
The application is for all people with low income who love reading, want to learn and increase their knowledge.
Service offered
what? how?
The application will function as follows: The book is at the same time the product and the change. So you pay a book with a book. You will just have to create your account and insert all the caracteristics of the books that you want to exchange. Then, you will scroll down through the application to see what others people are offering as a book too. You make your choice, contact the owner and pay deliveries fees or just meet in person if the seller is close to your area.We have also added a feature where people can donate money which can be used to ship books at the doorstep. In order to gain confidence in the app, a person can find brief details of other sponsors who had donated money previously.

Benchmark
List concurrents / relative projects and describe how they relate/differentiate to your project
- VINTED : Vinted is a platform where people sell what they no more use. You can find articles from different categories, clothes, cosmetic, house equipment, design, as well as books too. The difference relies in the fact that on their platform, books are sold but on ours they are just exchanged.
- BIBLIOTROC : It is a platform dedicated exclusively to the exchange of books. I indicate the books I have by simply entering the bar codes of the books or clicking on the "I have it" button. When a member wishes one of my books, I send it to him and I earn the Points corresponding to the value of the book. With my Points I order the books I desire. I keep the books I receive because they are mine. They are functioning with a "point" system but in our app we don't attribute an amount of point to the book. The goal is more to help rather than receiving a book of an equal value with what I have.
