Welcome to BuyNothing Chicago!

BuyNothing was created by three software engineering students while attending Flatiron as their module 2 project in which students were required to create a Rails app with full CRUD functionality using an MVC structre and RESTful conventions.

This app joins people and their communities by providing them with a platform to coordinate giving away unwanted items.
