Senior Full-Stack Developer (Next.js, Supabase, Stripe, E-Commerce) — MVP Storybook Platform

Senior Full-Stack Developer (Next.js, Supabase, Stripe) — MVP Storybook Platform ## About the project I'm building **Story We Made**, a personalized storybook platform for families with young children. Parents will select a story template, customize characters, complete checkout, and receive a personalized digital book. Physical book fulfillment will be added through a print-on-demand API. The product is already defined with UX flows, wireframes, branding, and technical direction. I'm a product designer with a strong frontend background and will be actively involved in product decisions and design implementation. I'm looking for an experienced developer who can help bring the MVP to life and establish a scalable foundation for future growth. The MVP follows a template-based personalization approach (not AI-generated stories at runtime) to keep the experience fast, reliable, and cost-effective. --- ## Project Scope Build a production-ready web application that includes: ### Customer Experience * Authentication (email/password and Google login) * User profiles * Story template gallery * Story detail pages * Character selection/customization flow * Personalized book preview * Checkout flow * Order confirmation experience * Customer library for purchased books * Re-download purchased digital books ### Backend & Infrastructure * Database architecture * Authentication and authorization * Asset storage * Order management * PDF generation pipeline * Email notifications * Admin dashboard * Analytics implementation * Error monitoring ### Integrations * Stripe Checkout * Supabase (database, auth, storage) * Email provider (Resend or similar) * Analytics (PostHog) * Print fulfillment API (Lulu API preferred, if timeline permits) The planned stack is Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase, Stripe, PostHog, and Vercel. --- ## Tech Requirements Must have experience with: * Next.js (App Router) * TypeScript * React * Supabase * PostgreSQL * Stripe * REST APIs * Vercel deployment * Git/GitHub Nice to have: * PDF generation * Print-on-demand integrations * E-commerce products * Subscription or order management systems * PostHog analytics * Resend * AI-related products --- ## What I'm Looking For You are: * Comfortable owning technical decisions * Able to work independently * Strong communicator * Product-minded, not just task-oriented * Able to identify edge cases and propose solutions * Interested in building an MVP quickly without overengineering I value thoughtful tradeoffs, clean architecture, and practical execution over perfect code. --- ## Current Status The project already has: * Product requirements document * User flows * Design system * Landing page * Branding * Technical architecture direction * Initial content pipeline I'm looking for someone who can help turn this foundation into a working product over the next several weeks. The product already has a defined brand system, user experience direction, and MVP scope. --- ## Deliverables By the end of the engagement, I would like: * Production-ready MVP * Working checkout and payment flow * User account system * Order management system * Personalized book generation pipeline * Analytics implementation * Deployment documentation * Clean codebase with handoff documentation --- ## To Apply Please include: 1.
