∙ “Buy Now” instant purchase feature
∙ Search & Filters (by category, price, condition)
∙ Amazon product links
∙ WhatsApp button for winners
4. Admin Panel:

∙ Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)
∙ OR Supabase Edge Functions

Deliverables:
1. Complete Source Code
∙ With documentation
∙ Git repository
2. Build Files:
∙ IPA for iOS (ready for App Store submission)
∙ APK/AAB for Android (ready for Google Play submission)
3. Deployment Guide:
∙ Step-by-step instructions for App Store submission
∙ Step-by-step instructions for Google Play submission
∙ App Store screenshots
∙ Privacy Policy (if needed)
4. Support:
∙ Minor revisions within 14 days after delivery
∙ Brief training on how to update the app

What I DON’T Need:
∙ New design (use existing design from website)
∙ New backend (Supabase is ready)
∙ Apple Developer or Google Play accounts (I have accounts)

Timeline:
∙ Preferred Duration: 2-3 weeks
∙ Priority: Quality over speed

Budget:

$500 - $1,500 (depending on experience and quality)


Adjust this based on your actual budget

Important Notes:
1. Arabic Language:

∙ Arabic-Indic numerals optional
2. Security:
∙ All bids protected by Row Level Security
∙ User verification before any operation
3. Performance:
∙ App must be fast and responsive
∙ Optimized image loading
∙ Lazy loading for products

Required Skills:
∙ React Native or Flutter (2+ years experience)
∙ Supabase / Firebase
∙ Real-time applications
∙ Push Notifications (FCM)
∙ App Store & Google Play submission experience
∙ Arabic/RTL support
∙ Git

Attachments:

Will provide after agreement:
- Full website access
- Supabase credentials (via private message)
- Database schema details
- Any additional design files


Questions for Applicants:
Please answer these questions in your proposal:
1. Have you worked with Supabase before?
2. Can you share examples of previous apps with real-time features?
3. What is your estimated timeline?
4. Will you use React Native or Flutter? Why?
5. How will you handle Push Notifications?
6. Can you assist with app store submissions?

Red Flags (I will reject):
∙ Requests full payment upfront
∙ Doesn’t ask technical questions
∙ Promises unrealistic timeline like “3 days only”
∙ No portfolio or examples
∙ Generic copy-paste proposals

Green Flags (I prefer):
∙ Asks detailed questions about database structure
∙ Suggests improvements or optimizations
∙ Has relevant portfolio examples
∙ Mentions potential challenges
∙ Proposes milestone-based payment

Additional Information:
∙ The website is fully functional - you can test all features
∙ I have detailed documentation for the database structure
∙ The app should match the website’s functionality 1:1
∙ Arabic is the primary language, but code/comments can be in English
∙ I’m available for regular communication throughout the project

Please include in your proposal:
1. Your approach to this project
2. Timeline breakdown
3. Examples of similar projects
4. Any questions you have
5. Your preferred technology stack (React Native vs Flutter) with reasoning

Looking forward to working with you!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
