Full-Stack Developer for Novel Reading App (GoodNovel-Style) – Fast MVP Launch

I'm looking for an experienced developer to build a web-novel reading app for iOS and Android — essentially a GoodNovel-style product: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.read.goodnovel Core concept: users read novels chapter by chapter. Free chapters up front, then locked chapters unlocked with coins or by watching rewarded ads. ## MVP FIRST — SPEED OVER COMPLETENESS ## I don't need the full feature set for launch. Let's cut everything non-essential and go to market fast. The only thing that must work from day one is monetization (coins, in-app purchases, rewarded ads). Nice-to-haves like recommendations, push notifications or social features can come later. Tell me what you'd cut and what you'd keep. ## MVP SCOPE (my starting point — challenge it if you'd do it leaner) ## - Novel library, categories, search, reading view with night mode - User accounts and reading progress - Coin system, coin packages via Apple/Google IAP, daily free coins - Rewarded video ads (AdMob or similar) as the free unlock path - Simple admin backend: upload novels/chapters, set chapter pricing, basic reads/revenue stats ## FULL SCOPE ## Frontend and backend, from zero to live, including App Store and Google Play submission. After launch I want the same person to stay on for ongoing maintenance and new features — this is a long-term collaboration, not a one-off. ## WHO I'M LOOKING FOR ## - You've already built a novel-reading, micro-drama or similar coin-unlock content app — please show it - You can build on an existing codebase or template you own (big advantage) - You can start immediately. Speed is my main selection criterion. ## REQUIRED IN YOUR FIRST MESSAGE ## - Price to get v1 live and submitted to the App Store / Google Play - Timeline in weeks - Links to similar apps you've built - Existing codebase you'd build on and your stack - Monthly rate for ongoing maintenance after launch Applications without price and timeline in the first message will not be considered.
