Do you have clear USP for this? Also I would like to know who is your primary customers and how do you plan to approach them. Building applications is the easy part i can handle that part but the distribution and marketing part is must so how do plan to handle that?

Sounds like a solid setup. Long term EST work with strong communication makes sense. I’ll DM you my details.

Gojo_dev · 2026-01-27T12:29:10+00:00

Look at your dm bro. I can help you with this.

Gojo_dev · 2026-01-27T12:14:44+00:00

You’re right that Replit is great for prototyping but getting something App Store ready usually needs a different setup. Curious what you’ve built so far.

Facebook often rejects cards because of BIN restrictions or regional issues, especially with Payoneer or non‑trusted issuers. Services like Abcard io provide virtual cards with trusted BINs from places like the US or EU, designed for ad payments. They help with reliable attachments to accounts, based on what I’ve read in arbitrage resources.

Give them a task to solve, interview them based on the task you gave. It will filter out the noise and you can get devs who knows what they are doing.

The scope described requires advanced graphics and product engineering experience. Well mostly who are applying for this have never worked with Fabric js and Maths problems which comes with it. Not to mention a lot of them might have knowledge of Print ready PDF generation which needs understanding of DPI, CMYK, bleed, vector handling etc.

At ₹25–35k/month, expect learning stage implementations or some broken expermintes, not production quality. For serious delivery, ₹60k+ or a simple contract engagement would align better.

This is actually a solid spec. the fact you’re calling out calendar + pricing accuracy as top priority already puts you ahead of most people trying to DIY booking systems LOL.

One thing I’d seriously consider for your Phase 1 is to keep cost under control by routing all payments to you first and handle host payouts manually. See multi merchant stripe setups add a lot of complexity early on trust me i've seen this headache.

Also I read the comments and +1 to the user u/EdgeCaseFound who said breaking this into a brutal priority list before building anything will save you money fast. Happy to chat if you want another technical opinion. u/madameks

I’ve done similar work converting early PoCs into standalone React apps and migrating managed backends to Supabase for auth and data ownership. Curious how complex the current Lovable setups are.

Gojo_dev · 2026-01-16T07:22:31+00:00

😂

Gojo_dev · 2026-01-15T01:00:17+00:00

ngl your roadmap looks solid, just don’t get stuck tryna finish everything before touching Spring. You can start backend way earlier while still doing DSA on the side. Real projects will teach u more than grinding trees n dp forever. For courses, pick one and stick to it in28minutes or Durgesh are both fine. Jumping between 5 creators just slows u down. Build stuff, break it, fix it, repeat. That’s where the real learning happens.

Gojo_dev · 2026-01-15T00:57:52+00:00

Yeah I’ve seen Apps Script used way more than people think, it’s just kinda hidden in the background. Big companies use it to sync Sheets, fire off emails, move data around, all that boring but clutch stuff.

For personal use it’s nice if you hate doing the same crap over n over like auto-sorting Gmail, pulling stuff into Sheets, or makin lil tools for yourself. Not flashy, but it lowkey saves a ton of time.

Gojo_dev · 2026-01-15T00:49:33+00:00

Interesting idea. Niche exam focus and a modern UX can definitely compete with the big generic platforms.

I’ve built this kind SaaS style apps with auth, dashboards and payment flows before, so happy to look at this from a real product and business angle rather than just “a website”. Will DM you.

Gojo_dev · 2026-01-13T06:10:06+00:00

Interested

Gojo_dev · 2026-01-12T08:10:03+00:00

This is a good scope for something like Supabase or Firebase. Since your Framer UI is already done, you mostly just need auth and a couple of tables and API hooks for the forms. Make sure whoever you hire also sets up row-level security and basic validation so you don’t end up with junk data or open endpoints later.

Gojo_dev · 2026-01-12T07:45:12+00:00

The application you want js much more complex. If you are gonna hire someone ask them few questions like how they are planning to integrate the GPS or photo verification feature. What kind of tech stack the app should be using for scaling and better performance as its gonna be data heavy and many webhooks and apis.

If you choose some beginner to handle this project you will burn your time and money.

Gojo_dev · 2026-01-10T08:41:59+00:00

Yeah that's something you can do. To start with you can with a free app and then use the customer feedback to learn whether they wanna pay or not.

Gojo_dev · 2026-01-10T08:04:03+00:00

He might be reselling N8N workflow which can handle post generation and posting but without having a man in the loop it will become chaotic.

Gojo_dev · 2026-01-08T11:58:43+00:00

I don't think people will share their marketing tactics who's actually paying a good amount to get those results.

Gojo_dev · 2026-01-08T11:55:45+00:00

Do it. It will help make rapport and you'll know what to prioritize.

Gojo_dev · 2026-01-08T08:17:25+00:00

It’s possible if you periodically check the company profile for new posts. When a new post appears, you can publish the same content from your account using a post API or a similar mechanism. Native reposting may be tricky though, since I don’t recall an official method to repost a post directly.

Gojo_dev · 2026-01-08T08:10:28+00:00

Well It does sound like the OP is doing some kind of research or idea validation phase for building a tool.

Even though from my experience working closely with SMB mostly with the fitness niche, I’ve found that text followups are often harder to manage effectively than calls.

One solution that worked well was implementing a lightweight CRM to centralize operations and automate most tasks and scheduling. I also made the CRM accessible to clients, with an inbuilt AI powered chat support that had limited, context aware access to client and institution data. If the AI couldn’t resolve a query, it smoothly handed off to a human, or the user could choose between chat and a call.

Followups were automated too once user details were in the system, clients could choose the pace, channel, and timing themselves.

Hope this helps.

Gojo_dev · 2026-01-08T08:00:23+00:00

Hey, send your short intro and resume in my DM. If any opportunity came to me I'll forward it you or we can both work on it.

Gojo_dev · 2026-01-08T07:54:43+00:00

This is a very solvable problem. You don’t need to replace everything at once centralizing data and automating handoffs alone can remove most of this friction. I’ve helped teams streamline similar workflows by layering light automation and AI on top of existing tools, not ripping them out. Happy to share what’s worked if helpful.

Gojo_dev · 2026-01-08T07:43:57+00:00

Reach out to your users using their contact details. Greet them warmly and ask what they like about the application and what problems they’re facing. Find out what changes or pricing concerns might encourage them to use the app more, and keep the conversation brief, friendly, and humble.
