🟣 MVP Developer Brief – KicKin (One Pager for Upwork) Objective: I’m seeking an experienced full-stack developer to build a simple, mobile-first MVP for a web-based tool with swipe-based interactions, user profiles, and a lightweight feedback mechanic. This is NOT a complex app — the goal is clean, functional foundations to test user behaviour. Budget: Approximately $850 AUD (flexible within reason if justified by experience and timeline). ⭐ ABOUT THE PROJECT (High-Level Only) The App is a small productivity tool designed to help users make quicker decisions with community input. Users sign up, complete a profile, swipe through prompts from other users, and earn the ability to post their own prompts once they’ve interacted enough. No advanced AI, no complex algorithms, no messaging, and no sensitive IP revealed at this stage. Just a clean, efficient MVP to validate product behaviour. ⭐ CORE FEATURES FOR MVP 1. User Registration + Login Email + password (OAuth optional but not required for MVP) User profile setup flow (simple fields: industry, experience level, etc) Basic user dashboard 2. Swipe-Based Interaction System Users see a series of cards/prompts Swipe/tap to choose between predefined options Mechanic to track and count user swipes Users must complete a minimum number of swipes before they can post their own prompt (No need to show examples or results logic in this public brief.) 3. Create a Prompt Upload simple text + optional image Choose a response type (e.g., A/B or multiple choice) Save to database and make available to other users in the swipe queue 4. Results Page (Basic for MVP) Once a prompt receives a minimum number of responses, user can see aggregated results Simple percentage breakdown High-level demographic summary pulled from user profiles (no identifying data shown) 5. Admin Panel (Lightweight) Ability to view all users View all prompts Remove inappropriate content 6. Subscription Setup (Simple Tier) Integrate Stripe for a single subscription tier (monthly) Users must subscribe to continue creating prompts after initial trial limit ⭐ TECH STACK (Flexible) You may choose your preferred stack, but ideal options include: Frontend: React or Next.js Backend: Node.js, Firebase, or Supabase Auth: Firebase Auth or Auth0 Database: Supabase / PostgreSQL Storage: Firebase Storage or AWS S3 Hosting: Vercel or Firebase Payments: Stripe I’m open to whatever stack allows you to deliver quickly, cleanly, and securely. ⭐ WHAT I WILL PROVIDE Branding direction User flows Wireframes if helpful Prompt examples (privately, after contract is awarded) ⭐ WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR Someone confident building clean MVPs quickly Strong English communication Ability to recommend the most efficient architecture Transparent updates Past experience building simple user-generated content or swipe-based apps is a bonus ⭐ TIMELINE Ideal delivery: 3–4 weeks (open to discussion). ⭐ HOW TO APPLY Please share: Your recommended tech stack for this MVP Recent similar projects Estimated timeline Confirmation you can work within an ~$850 USD budget Any suggestions to simplify or speed up development
