Slinger Swap
Team project at Artisans
The brief
A marketplace where gamers trade and sell their games, with a moderated catalogue, offers, and push notifications when a deal lands.
Peer-to-peer game trading needs trust to work: a clean catalogue, a real offer flow, and someone watching the marketplace, not a chat group and good luck.
What I built
A two-sided marketplace: an Arabic mobile app where players browse titles, make offers and swap, plus a back office to moderate listings, manage a game catalogue synced from RAWG/IGDB, and watch the marketplace. Firebase push tells a player the moment an offer lands.
A catalogue that syncs itself
Titles, art and metadata sync from the RAWG/IGDB APIs, so listings attach to real games instead of typos.
Moderation before money moves
Every listing passes through the back office. A moderated catalogue is what makes peer-to-peer trading trustworthy.
Offers land as push, instantly
The Arabic mobile app carries browsing, offers and swaps, and Firebase push tells a player the moment a deal lands. 48 live offers on one title.
The hard part
Syncing a game catalogue from the RAWG/IGDB APIs; an offer / counter-offer trading flow; Firebase push the moment an offer arrives; and a Pest suite of 69 tests / 221 assertions on the Laravel API.
The result
A moderated, real-time trading floor for games, built by a team, backed by a Pest suite of 69 tests and 221 assertions on the API.
