Many local produce markets and small, family-owned businesses lack the technical infrastructure to maintain an online presence. As a result, customers often have no way of knowing what products are currently in stock unless they physically visit the store or call ahead. This lack of visibility leads to missed sales opportunities, excess food waste from unsold inventory, and barriers to customer convenience. That is where Thyme Crate steps in.
Thyme Crate is a web application designed to give small vendors a modern, digital storefront without requiring them to build or manage their own website. Our system displays real-time inventory pulled from a backend database, allowing customers to:
• View stock levels and product details from local markets
• Add items to a digital cart
• Reserve items for in-person pickup
This streamlined shopping experience bridges the gap between local markets and modern consumer habits, increasing customer engagement and reducing waste from unsold stock.
To run the Thyme Crate app locally, follow these steps:
-

git clone https://github.com/code-differently/25q1-team1.git
-
Navigate into the project directory:
cd 25q1-team1 -
Install Dependencies:
npm install
-
Run the development server:
npm run dev
-
Open the app in your browser:
The Thyme Crate app should now be running locally!

Thank you so much for tuning in and checking out our web page! We had so much fun building this app from the ground up, but the work did not come without stress. Pressure builds diamonds though, and we love feedback, so looking forward to hear what you, the user, think of our creation!
