Project Overview
Hi, Help me with this project before I burn money
I am seeking an experienced mobile app developer to build and launch a private client-only community app for my facial reflexology business, Footworx.
This app will function as an exclusive “client beauty circle” where verified customers can share skincare products, routines, and reviews.
⸻
Access Control (Critical Requirement)
The app must use a one-time invite code system.
Only clients who have booked an appointment through our official online booking system may receive an invite code.
Each confirmed booking must automatically generate a unique invite code.
The invite code must:
• Be single-use only
• Expire after 7–14 days
• Be securely linked to the booking record
• Become permanently invalid after redemption
No user should be able to register without a valid invite code.
⸻
Core Features
• Photo uploads (clients post skincare products)
• Product tagging (brand/name)
• Captions and reviews
• Likes and comments
• User profiles (name + optional photo)
• Admin approval system
• Admin controls (remove posts/users, moderate content, manage reports)
⸻
Platforms
• iOS and Android
• Please recommend the best approach (Flutter, React Native, or Native development) and explain why.
⸻
Backend Requirements
• Secure login system
• Invite code verification system
• Database for user accounts and content storage
