Mobile App MVP – Photo-Based Buyer Requests with Seller Bidding (Arabic Language, Iraq Market) Project Title: Build Arabic Mobile App (MVP): User posts photo, sellers bid – local market Project Description: We are seeking an experienced developer or small team to build a mobile app (iOS + Android) designed for the Iraqi market, starting in a single city as a pilot. App Concept: A buyer takes or uploads a photo of something they need (e.g. spare part, tailoring request, fix, custom order) Approved sellers in the same city receive the order request and submit bids (price + ETA + short message) The buyer compares bids and selects the best one Admin (you/me) controls which sellers are approved and can see orders MVP Features Required: Buyer App: Phone number login via SMS OTP Arabic-only user interface (must support RTL layout) Upload or capture photo + optional text note Submit order → real-time fan-out to city-specific sellers Receive and view bids (price + ETA + message) Accept one bid Push notifications + SMS alerts Seller App: Apply for seller access (requires admin approval) See orders only from their selected city (Diwaniya) Submit a bid (price + estimated delivery time + short message) Admin Dashboard (Web-based): View and approve/reject seller applications Monitor incoming orders and seller bids Control which sellers can view orders Optional: Manage seller subscriptions/paywall (phase 2) Preferred Tech Stack (Open to Suggestions): Mobile app: Flutter or React Native (Arabic UI support required) Backend: Firebase (Auth, Firestore, Storage) OR Node.js + PostgreSQL Notifications: FCM push + SMS (Infobip, Twilio, Unifonic, or similar with Iraq delivery) Image upload: Resized/compressed before upload to S3 or Firebase Storage Admin panel: Simple React, Vue, or plain HTML dashboard Deliverables: Functional mobile app (iOS + Android) ready for submission Admin web dashboard (basic but working) Arabic UI with proper RTL layout Source code with build instructions Post-delivery technical support (30–45 days for minor bugs) Simple runbook or documentation Project Scope & Constraints: Arabic is the only user language required in this version City-specific launch (Diwaniya only); must filter orders and sellers by location No payments in this version (cash is assumed) App should be optimized for low-end Android phones (Iraq-specific reality) UI must look clean and professional (not a prototype or student project) When Applying, Please Include: A short intro about you or your team Examples of similar mobile apps you've built Proposed tech stack Estimated timeline and delivery milestones Fixed total cost (preferred to be split across milestones) Experience building Arabic or RTL apps (required) Suggestions for launching in a local market like Iraq Budget: Fixed Price — please break it down by milestones (e.g. Design → Development → Testing → Delivery) Next Steps: Once we shortlist you, we’ll set up a quick call to go through: Your proposal Any technical questions Timeline and phased rollout
