More In-Depth Detail of Qualification
Backend
- Node. xywuqvp js (Express or Fastify) or Python (FastAPI/Django) — to build the REST API that replaces the current localStorage state
- PostgreSQL — for storing users, jobs, bids, messages, reviews. The data model is already clear from the app (jobs, bids, contractors, homeowners)
- JWT authentication — to replace the current in-browser AUTH object with real secure sessions
- Websockets ( or similar) — the messaging feature currently fakes replies; it needs real-time chat
Frontend
- React or Vue — to rebuild the UI as a proper component-based app rather than one HTML file
- Leaflet/Mapbox experience — already used in the app, they need to be comfortable with it
- Experience integrating third-party APIs — Nominatim geocoding, Stripe for payments (which you'll need soon), Twilio for SMS notifications
Infrastructure
- Basic cloud deployment — AWS, Google Cloud, or simpler options like Railway or Render
- Supabase or Firebase — honestly a strong option for you early on because it gives you a real database, auth, and file storage with minimal backend code
- Basic understanding of CORS, environment variables, and API security
Nice to have:
- Experience building marketplace apps specifically — the bidding, escrow-style payment holding, and two-sided user roles are non-trivial
- Mobile-responsive development experience — your users are mostly on phones
- Experience with geolocation-based queries (finding jobs within X miles of a tradesman)
