Handyman is more than a web platform, we are building a skilled-services niche
HANDYMAN APP is a Marketplace connecting customers to verified local handymen The Problem: Finding reliable technicians/artisans is slow, informal, and risky Pricing is unclear; disputes happen frequently Customers struggle with trust; providers struggle with consistent jobs and payments Providers struggle with getting paid after work is done. Customers who relocate within a city struggle to build trust with tradesmen in their new area The Solution: Secure payments: wallet + escrow, get paid once you complete the job Built-in trust controls: verification badge, ratings, before/after job photos Real-time updates via push notifications and order timeline Comprehensive kyc compliance across user types On-Demand structure means customer can post job and platform can match it with available handyman immediately How it Works: •Customer: Create booking → add job details + location → propose service fee Create booking → add job details + location → propose service fee Share start code + completion code •Handyman: See nearby jobs → accept → negotiate via in order chat Confirm fee → arrive → start with code + before photo Complete with code + after photo → payout released What’s Built (Core Functionality): Auth roles: customer / handyman / admin Booking flow + service catalog Nigeria location hierarchy Price negotiation + fee lock Full order lifecycle tracking Ratings + chat Wallet + escrow logic Push notifications + media uploads Admin dashboard Infrastructure Frontend: React + TypeScript + Vite Backend: Node.js + Express + TypeScript Database: MongoDB Atlas Hosting: Render Media storage: Cloudinary Push notifications: Firebase Cloud Messaging Android distribution: WebView APK GitHub repo + GitHub Pages
Next step: <p>add payment system of choice, move to a native domain (if you don't want to use render), these are the only 2 things left, alongside marketing and sales to drive traction.</p>
