I had my iOS/Android app professionally developed in Flutter and I’m getting the full source code from the developers.

I’m a beginner, but I’ve been learning and using Codex/AI to make smaller changes myself.

I now want to add a $59/month subscription/paywall for premium features. The app already has Apple/Google in-app purchases implemented for another paid feature.

I’m considering RevenueCat to handle subscriptions and entitlements.

Would you recommend RevenueCat, or should I build on the existing IAP system?

Is this realistic for a beginner with AI guidance, or is subscription/backend verification something I should hire a Flutter developer to implement?

Also, what would be a reasonable price to pay someone for this?

I feel completely overwhelmed with marketing -landing pages, ads, social media posts, etc.... I don't know where to start. I am trying to do this on my own, trying to keep costs down. I have my landing page up and running but I am NOT satisfied with it. I know it can be better. Anyone have any "cheat" ways to get all of this done? www.onlygigz.app I'll take all the criticism and feedback I can get. I used my retirement to get this app built, its been in development since Nov 2025. Thanks guys!

Hey y'all,

I've been working on a new app called OnlyGigz, and I'm looking for a few musicians, bands, DJs, and other entertainers who'd be willing to check it out before we launch.

This isn't some big corporate thing. I'm a working booking agent and musician manager, I built this because I got tired of chasing people through Facebook messages, digging through texts, dealing with last-minute cancellations, and all the other madness that comes along with it.

I'm just looking for real feedback from people who actually play shows. Tell me what you like, what you hate, and what you'd want to see.

If you're interested in getting early access, leave a comment or shoot me a message. I'd love to have some working musicians help make this thing better before it goes live.

Thanks!

Platform Server Infrastructure Proposal

Overview

This document outlines the recommended cloud infrastructure for your platform, designed to ensure:

• High scalability

• Real-time messaging and booking coordination

• Secure payment and escrow handling

• scraping, document storage, and platform communication

The proposed infrastructure supports the platform’s core functionality, including job posting, candidate applications, real-time chat, management, contract storage, document uploads, scraper processing, and payment handling.

Recommended Architecture

The system will be deployed using a modern, scalable cloud environment with the following

components:

• Cloud Provider: Microsoft Azure

• Backend: Node.js (API Layer)

• Database:

➢ PostgreSQL (Primary Database)

➢ Firebase Firestore (Real-time Chat & Activity Data)

• Storage: AWS S3 (Media, Documents & Contracts)

• Notifications: Firebase Cloud Messaging

• Payments: Stripe (Escrow & Payout System)

• CDN & Security: Cloudflare

• Caching Layer: Redis

• Scraper Service: Scheduled worker service using Playwright/Puppeteer
