MVP shipped: DernièreChance, the anti-food-waste platform built from scratch

The idea: a local shop (bakery, greengrocer, butcher, florist...) publishes a marked-down basket of unsold goods in 30 seconds. A nearby consumer spots it via geolocation, reserves it, and gets a code to show in store. Zero waste, zero friction.

What's in production today

Rust backend (Actix-web, hexagonal architecture) + PostgreSQL
Astro/Svelte frontend, mobile-first PWA, with a geolocated map and list view
Separate authentication for merchant / consumer / admin (JWT)
Photo upload straight from the phone (MinIO/S3 storage), merchant logo
Lightweight admin backoffice with real-time stats
End-to-end test suite (Playwright, video above) that replays the full journey: merchant sign-up → publishing → reservation → pickup → admin cleanup
Full CI/CD (GitHub Actions → GHCR), automatic GitOps deployment
Documented n8n workflow for email notifications on key actions, ready to use
The entire Docker infrastructure (dev + prod), README and documentation so the project can be picked up without me

Why it's MIT licensed

All of it is published under an MIT license: any business can take the code, adapt it to their market and launch commercially with it, no permission needed. It isn't meant to stay a demo — it's meant to be useful to others.

That's exactly the spirit of the Foyer method: sober software that stands on its own, built to be picked up without me.
