OpenSpot

OpenSpot is a full-stack web appliction with a completely seperated frontend and backend. It's main purpose is to find those with commercial spaces ready to rent, and connect people looking for those very own spaced. This includes, Venues, Barns, Churches, Warehouses and so forth. These allow people to rent these spaces for various different reasons, such as, Weddings, Parties, Storage, etc. In doing this, OpenSpot also benifits the environment, by utilizing the spaces we already have, this deters new buildings from being built, and let's us not waste any more of our precious environment.
