Full-Stack Developer – Short Video Pitch Showcase Platform (MVP)

The below is all generated by Grok so take it with a pinch of salt and there is flex on how you deliver. I don't mind as long as it works, is secure and good for my long term idea. I'll happily tell you what the target demographic is and the idea etc once we have decided to proceed with an NDA. The below is designed to get the functionality and isn't the full idea. I hope that's okay. I’m looking for an experienced full-stack developer to build a clean, modern MVP for a web platform focused on short video pitches. The platform will allow users to upload and showcase short video pitches (30–60 seconds). Other users will be able to browse these pitches in a fast, engaging way. The core experience should feel simple and addictive: a large video player with quick actions (e.g. skip or express interest). When a user expresses interest in a pitch, they can access the creator’s contact details. The design should be bright, fresh, and professional. The entire experience must work smoothly on both mobile and desktop. Key Features Required (MVP Scope): User authentication via magic link login (email only, no passwords) Two user roles: Pitch creators (who upload videos) and Pitch viewers/browsers (who discover and engage with videos) Creators can record or upload a short video directly in the browser (max 30–60 seconds) Admin approval workflow — all videos must be reviewed and approved before appearing publicly Public grid/feed of approved video pitches with basic search and filter functionality Fast browsing experience for viewers: Large central video player with Skip and Interested buttons (similar to a web-based swipe/browse flow) When a viewer clicks “Interested”, they see the creator’s basic profile information and email address Simple activity logging (e.g. tracking which viewers have expressed interest in which pitches) Fully responsive design that works well on mobile and desktop Clean, bright, modern UI (design references/mockups will be provided) Tech Stack Preferences: I’m open to recommendations, but I’m currently leaning towards: Frontend: Next.js (or similar modern framework) Backend & Database: Supabase (or similar) Video upload, storage & streaming: Bunny.net or Cloudflare Stream (cost efficiency is important) Hosting: Vercel (or similar) Please explain your recommended stack and why it’s a good fit. Nice-to-Haves (Not required for MVP): Basic admin dashboard for managing content and users Simple email notifications (e.g. when a pitch is approved) Report/abuse button on pitches What I’d Like to See in Your Proposal: Examples of similar previous work — especially any platforms involving video upload + browsing flows, activity tracking, or two-sided user experiences. Links or screenshots are very helpful. Confirmation of your experience with video upload, storage, and streaming in web applications. Your proposed tech stack and reasoning. Estimated timeline and total cost to deliver the MVP as described. Any questions you have about the scope or technical approach.
