AI-Native Developer Needed – Bumble BFF Clone for Niche Community

We are launching **Jalebi Friends**, a friendship-matching and platonic community app for the Ismaili community. This is a sibling app to our existing, successful platform, **Jalebi** (an Ismaili dating app - www.jalebi.me). Because we already have the brand assets, style guidelines, and design architecture, you won’t be designing from scratch—you will be adapting our existing aesthetic into a clean, platonic friendship-matching and event-organizing flow. To stay within our launch budget and timeline, we want to work with an **AI-native developer** or **"Vibe Coder"** who leverages advanced AI tools (**Cursor, Bolt.new, v0.dev, Claude Code, or FlutterFlow**) to build cleanly, secure the database, and deploy rapidly. #### **Tech Stack (We are Flexible):** We want the best, fastest, and most cost-effective tool for the job. Please pitch us your preferred stack in your proposal. We are highly open to: * **Flutter / FlutterFlow + Firebase/Supabase** * **React Native / Expo + Supabase** #### **MVP Features Required (Bumble BFF Core Mechanics + Plans):** To ensure a high-quality, interactive environment, the MVP must include: 1. **Onboarding & Verification:** Sign-up flow with custom community tags (Location, Interests, Profession). 2. **BFF Gender Filtering & Preferences:** A settings toggle allowing users to filter matches (e.g., same-gender only or open to all). 3. **Rich Card-Stack Swiping:** Modern, swipeable profile cards displaying user photos, bio, interest badges (e.g., "Chai Nights", "Board Games"), and 2-3 profile icebreaker prompts. 4. **"Plans" Event Board (New MVP Feature):** * A tab where users can create group activities or "plans" (e.g., "Brunch this Sunday" or "Jamatkhana Carpool"). * Other local users can view these public plans and request to join. * A shared group chat for everyone who has joined the plan. 5. **Real-Time Chat:** Triggers instantly upon mutual matching for 1-to-1 messaging. 6. **Safety Tools:** Essential user reporting and profile blocking features. 7. **Store Deployment:** Packaging and publishing to our Apple & Google Play developer accounts. #### **Future Phase Considerations (Keep Architecture Upgradable):** We plan to introduce premium monetization features in Phase 2. Please structure the database/architecture so we can easily add: * **Freemium Subscriptions / In-App Purchases:** For features like "See Who Likes You," "Incognito Mode," and "Travel Mode." * **Ad Placements:** Integration space for showing native ads. #### **Budget & Milestones ($750 Total - Fixed Price):** We work strictly on a milestone basis. We do not pay hourly. * **Milestone 1 ($200):** Visual app layout, profile swiping UI, and onboarding flows working on our mobile devices for testing. * **Milestone 2 ($350):** Swiping/matching, "Plans" group event board, database setup, and real-time messaging fully functional. * **Milestone 3 ($200):** Successful compilation and submission approval on Apple App Store & Google Play. #### **To Apply, Please Tell Us:** 1. What is your preferred tech stack for this build, and why is it the fastest/cheapest way to launch? 2. What AI tools do you use to accelerate your coding process? 3. Have you successfully deployed an app to the App Store before? Please provide a link.
