I’m ready to turn a detailed concept into a live, full-stack social networking web app. The heart of the platform is community: every member needs a personal profile, real-time messaging, and a dynamic activity feed. Alongside these core elements, I also want to layer in commerce-style capabilities—ratings & reviews, a secure payment gateway, and robust product search with filtering—so users can confidently buy, sell, or book services inside the network without leaving the site. TECH & APPROACH I’m flexible on the stack as long as it’s modern, scalable, and well-documented. React or Vue on the front end and Node, Django, or a comparable framework on the back end feel natural, with PostgreSQL or MongoDB for data and AWS or GCP for hosting. Mobile responsiveness, REST/GraphQL APIs, and an architecture that can evolve into native apps are essential. DELIVERABLES • Fully functioning web application with all features integrated • Clean, well-commented code in a Git repo • CI/CD pipeline, deployment scripts, and basic monitoring • Concise hand-over guide for my in-house team ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA – Authenticated users can create/edit profiles, exchange messages, and see real-time feed updates (<1 s latency) – Payments flow through a PCI-compliant gateway with no card data stored locally – Search returns correct results in <300 ms across a 50 k-item dataset – All critical paths covered by automated tests and passing in CI If you have proven experience building social platforms—especially those that blend community features with secure transactions—let’s talk about your proposed tech stack, milestones, and estimated timeline.
