Bruce Pizza is a listings marketplace where users browse, filter, and submit pizza-shop listings, and sellers manage their entries through an account dashboard. This engagement focused on stabilizing the marketplace workflow and implementing the core seller functionality inside an existing Bubble application — completing missing account features and hardening the listing lifecycle for production.
