Panstora will be a Cool Thing™.
This will be our submission for Hack Upstate (Spring 2013).
This is the project description I submitted:
Python-powered application for shopping in a unique way. Shoppers visit stores in busy locations, such as downtown regions. These special stores have only a few copies of each item they sell, enough to demonstrate the items and let potential buyers try them out. Users can scan NFC or QR codes with a mobile device to select the items they want to buy. Checkout occurs on the mobile device. Items are shipped the same day from a warehouse on the outskirts of town, where land is much cheaper. This system allows stores to minimalize cost of land in expensive areas (such as downtown), as well as carry a wider variety of items, since they all of the bulk is stored in an off-site warehouse. The benefits of online shopping with the experience of in-store shopping.
The panstora home view contains nothing of interest to the actual application process, other than providing a landing page.
The item view is where item details are displayed. This view can be accessed at siteurl.com/item/[item_code].
