Local Marketplace App

Launched iOS & Android with 12k downloads in the first month.

React NativeNode.jsStripe

Problem

A regional marketplace needed a mobile product fast - with seller onboarding, in-app chat, and payment escrow - without hiring separate iOS and Android teams.

Approach

Built with Expo/React Native and a Node.js API. Focused first on the seller listing flow and buyer trust signals, then iterated chat and payments after beta feedback - classic full-stack mobile delivery.

Outcome

Shipped both stores in one codebase. First-month downloads hit 12k with a 4.7★ average rating and a clear roadmap for v2 features.

We went from idea to App Store in under three months. Communication was clear the entire time - agency quality at freelance speed.
