Hustle is a platform that empowers local artisans (e.g., tailors, barbers, mechanics) to showcase their work online through personalized portfolios. Customers can easily find and hire trusted artisans in their area. Built with Django Rest Framework and PostgreSQL, containerized using Docker, and deployed on Render.
Many artisans in underserved communities lack digital visibility, while customers find it hard to locate reliable service providers. Hustle bridges this gap by:
- Giving artisans a professional online presence.
- Allowing customers to discover artisans based on skills and location.
- Building transparency and trust through ratings and portfolios.
- Create profile and upload service portfolio
- Add proof of work (images)
- Receive star ratings and reviews
- Secure authentication
- Search artisans by location and service
- View artisan profiles and ratings
- Rate and review artisans
- API-first architecture with Django Rest Framework
- Admin interface via Django admin
- Dockerized setup with PostgreSQL database
- Render deployment with CI/CD
- Static/media file management
