Summary

# Mobile App Developer or Small Team Needed to Build StoryMaps MVP I am looking for an experienced mobile app developer or small development team to help bring a new product idea to life. StoryMaps is a mobile app that helps people discover the stories attached to places around them. Today, local history, personal memories, old photos, interesting events, urban legends, and community knowledge are scattered across websites, social media posts, archives, and forums. StoryMaps brings these stories together by connecting them to real world locations on an interactive map. Users can explore places nearby, discover stories connected to those locations, and contribute their own photos, memories, and insights. The goal is to create a living map of community stories and local knowledge. ### Initial MVP Features * User accounts and profiles * Interactive map experience * Create location based posts * Upload photos * View stories attached to places * Comments and discussions * Search nearby locations and content * Basic moderation and reporting tools ### What I Am Looking For I am looking for someone who can help define the most practical MVP and recommend the best technology stack. I am open to Flutter, React Native, Firebase, Supabase, or other recommendations if they are the right fit. I prefer a fixed price project with milestone based payments rather than hourly billing. ### When Applying Please Include * Examples of similar apps you have built * Your recommended approach for this project * Estimated timeline * Fixed price estimate * Features you would remove or simplify for the first version I am looking for a long term partner who can continue working on the platform after the MVP launch if the project gains traction. Please start your proposal with the word "Map" so I know you read the entire posting.
