Project overview
A connected product, built around the real workflow
A community product has to support conversation and moderation while also managing membership access, payments and creator operations. Users need to discover groups, participate in discussions and follow notifications; owners need tools for members, subscriptions, earnings and support without switching between disconnected systems.
Long discussion histories and mixed message types also create practical mobile challenges around unread state, search, pagination, attachments and navigation to a specific notified message.
Solution strategy
We developed a React web application and Expo/React Native mobile application backed by a custom PHP and MySQL API. The product supports free and paid communities, joining and leaving, member pricing, moderator invitations, subscription extensions, threaded posts, votes, replies, comments and community administration.
Messaging workflows include images, documents and voice content, unread-first ordering, paginated history, in-thread search, reply context and navigation to notification targets. Commercial modules cover packages, payment-proof review, referral activity, community earnings, wallet balances and withdrawal requests. Scheduled tasks process subscriptions and remove expired administrative access, while dedicated admin views support users, payment requests, messages and appeals.
