Build a gamified daily challenge web app for children

I need a full-stack web application built for a South African educational startup targeting parents and children aged 6–13. The platform is a **subscription-based daily challenge system** where children compete on leaderboards by completing short, timed activities across multiple subjects. **Target users:** Parents (paying subscribers) and their children (users) **Core monetisation:** Monthly subscription (R120–R150 ZAR) --- ## What the App Must Do (High Level) ### For Parents: - Sign up / log in (email or Google) - Add multiple child profiles (name, grade, avatar) - Subscribe via Stripe (14-day free trial then monthly) - View each child's progress (weekly scores, strengths/weaknesses) - See leaderboards (by suburb, school, friend groups) - Download printable certificates and progress reports ### For Children: - Select their profile and see "today's challenge pack" - Complete 5–7 short activities (maths minute, word jumble, comprehension, colouring upload, SA quiz, etc.) - Earn points instantly - View leaderboards (with podium for top 3) - Earn streak badges and digital rewards ### For Admin (you will build this for me): - Question bank manager (add/edit/delete questions by grade and category) - View subscribers and revenue - Manage school codes and suburbs --- ## Key Technical Requirements **Stack preference:** React + Supabase + Stripe + Tailwind CSS **Hosting:** Vercel or Netlify ready **Payments:** Stripe (ZAR currency, monthly subscriptions) **File uploads:** For children's drawings/colouring pages (store in Supabase Storage) **Daily pack generation:** Automated cron job (Supabase edge function) that assembles unique daily packs from question banks --- ## CRITICAL: UI/UX Requirements This is a **children's platform**. The UI must be: - **Bright, playful, colourful** – no corporate grey/blue SaaS styling - **Rounded corners everywhere** (24px+ border-radius) - **Large touch targets** (buttons 56px+ height) - **Emoji-rich** (trophies, stars, animals, etc.) - **Animated** (confetti on completion, bounce effects, hover scaling) - **Mobile-first** (tablet and phone primary use) - **Character-friendly** – space for a mascot (I can add illustrations later) **I will reject proposals if your portfolio shows only boring admin dashboards or generic corporate apps.** --- ## What You Will Build (Detailed Scope) ### Phase 1 – MVP (3–4 weeks) - Parent authentication & child profile management - Stripe subscription integration - Daily challenge pack system (Grades 4–5 only initially) - 6 activity types (maths minute, word jumble, comprehension, creative upload, SA quiz, bonus) - Points & leaderboards (suburb, school, friend groups, national) - Parent dashboard (progress view, printable reports) - Basic admin panel (question bank manager) ### Phase 2 – Post-launch (optional, can discuss) - Additional grades (1–3, 6–7) - Reward shop (points for digital badges) - WhatsApp progress summaries - School vs. school competitions --- ## What I Will Provide - Full product requirements document - Database schema - Sample question data (50+ questions for testing) - Brand logo and basic assets - Supabase and Stripe accounts (you guide setup) --- ## Who I'm Looking For **Must have:** - Proven experience building React + Supabase full-stack apps (send links) - Strong portfolio of **child-friendly or gamified UIs** (this is non-negotiable) - Experience with Stripe subscriptions - Good English communication **Nice to have:** - South African or African based (timezone alignment) - Experience with Framer Motion (animations) - Previous educational or kids' app projects --- ## How to Apply Send me: 1. **Links to 2–3 web apps you've built** (especially any with playful/child-friendly UI) 2. A rough timeline for MVP (Phase 1) 3. Your fixed price or hourly rate **Do not send generic copy-paste proposals.** I will ignore them.
