Problem

Cambodia has no widely trusted, Khmer-friendly digital classifieds platform. I wanted to explore what one might look like.

Constraints

• — Solo student project — no team or funding
• — Learning full-stack architecture while building
• — Designing for Khmer-language users and mobile-first behavior
• — Navigating the marketplace cold-start problem as a concept

My Role

I built everything myself — frontend, backend, basic DevOps, and product decisions — as a learning exercise. Every part of it taught me something I didn't know before starting.

Solution

Built a foundational buyer-to-seller flow: search, listings, account management, and basic seller trust signals — focused on learning, not on launching.

Tradeoffs

• — Prioritized working flows over visual polish.
• — Phased the build to learn one layer at a time instead of doing everything at once.

Next Steps

Continue cleaning up code and improving security.

Improve listing quality and discovery flows.

Write proper documentation for what I built and why.
