I want to turn my weekly tabletop campaign with five friends into a private, real-time companion app that we can all carry in our pockets. It has to run smoothly on both iOS and Android and it will only ever serve our small group, so the interface can stay focused on game play rather than mass-market features. Core play workflow • I, as Game Master, create any number of characters, each showing at the top bar with editable stats—life, strength, speed and any extra attributes I define. • Each player can select up to twenty of those characters; whenever they speak in chat, roll dice or trigger an action, the message is stamped with the currently selected character. • A built-in polyhedral roller must broadcast results for D2, D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, D14 and D20 in real time so everyone sees the outcome instantly. Extra quick tools: heads-or-tails and rock-paper-scissors. • Buttons in the chat let us spend energy, inflict or heal damage and toggle abilities; the chosen stat updates live for all connected devices. • Custom backgrounds per chat room let us switch scenery to fit different RPG settings. Infrastructure basics – Native or cross-platform tech is fine (Flutter, React Native, Swift/Kotlin, etc.) as long as one shared codebase outputs both store builds. – A lightweight registration/login flow is required; email + password is enough, but feel free to suggest OAuth if it speeds things up. – I need a tiny admin panel—inside the app or web-based—just for me to invite players, create/reset characters and wipe a campaign between sessions. Deliverables 1. Complete, well-commented source code in a private repository, plus setup instructions. 2. Signed builds ready for TestFlight and internal Android testing. 3. A short PDF or markdown guide on user management, stat editing and background swaps. Acceptance criteria • Real-time updates reach all devices in under one second during a three-device test. • Stat changes and rolls persist after an app restart. • Only users with an invite code can register; outsiders are blocked. Share your proposed tech stack, estimated timeline and any past work on real-time or gaming tools, and we can get rolling.

Hello, I can build your private real-time tabletop RPG companion app for iOS and Android using a single cross-platform codebase (Flutter or React Native), focused on fast gameplay, live sync, and simple campaign management. Key features I can deliver: • Game Master character system with editable stats (life, strength, speed, custom fields) • Player character selection (up to 20 per user) with live tagging in chat • Real-time chat with <1s updates across all devices • Built-in dice roller (D2–D20) + quick tools (coin flip, rock-paper-scissors) • Live stat updates (damage, healing, abilities) synced instantly • Custom chat backgrounds for different campaigns • Invite-only login system (email + password + invite code) • Simple admin panel for managing users, characters, and sessions Deliverables: • iOS TestFlight + Android build (internal testing ready) • Clean, well-commented source code (private repo) • Setup + usage guide (Markdown/PDF) My approach is to build the real-time backend first (Firebase/Supabase), then implement chat + dice engine, followed by character systems and admin tools, and finally test cross-device sync and performance. A few quick questions: • Do you prefer Firebase or Supabase for real-time sync? • Should dice results stay in chat history or disappear after viewing? • Do you want the admin panel inside the app or as a web dashboard? Price is just a placeholder. Best regards, Vision

Your RPG companion app is an awesome concept, and we should absolutely build this using React Native (Expo) paired with Supabase. With 4–5 years of mobile app experience launching live platforms on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, I know exactly how to handle real-time state syncing. Supabase’s Realtime engine will handle your polyhedral dice rolls, stat modifications (damage, healing, energy), and character chat updates across all devices in well under a second. I'll build a clean, mobile-first interface featuring the top-bar character selector, custom chat backgrounds, and quick tools like Rock-Paper-Scissors. I’ll implement a secure invite-only registration system to keep out any uninvited players, along with a minimalist in-app Admin panel so you can easily manage character sheets, invite codes, and session wipes directly from your phone. You’ll get clean, fully documented code in a private GitHub repository, active TestFlight/Android internal testing builds, and a markdown guide to manage your campaign settings effortlessly. Let’s jump into the chat, share your campaign details, and let’s get this rolling for your crew!

built Zavengo native iOS and Android end to end, real-time tracking and a REST backend, so the live-sync side is familiar territory. for this i'd go Flutter plus Firebase, one codebase for both stores, Firestore for the sub-second real-time updates on stats and rolls, and Firebase Auth with invite-code gating to keep outsiders out. the GM admin panel sits inside the app behind a role flag, no separate web build needed. what's your timeline and is there an art direction you want for the UI, dark fantasy, clean minimal, something else? send any references and i'll come back with a milestone breakdown.

Hello, I can build your private real-time tabletop companion app for iOS and Android using Flutter, Firebase, Firestore, and Cloud Functions. For this small-group campaign app, I’d use Flutter for one shared codebase, Firebase Auth for invite-only email/password registration, Firestore for real-time chat, dice rolls, character stats, and campaign persistence, and Firebase Storage for custom room backgrounds. The admin panel can be built inside the app so you can invite players, create/reset characters, and wipe campaigns quickly. I’ve built real-time app workflows with live data sync, role-based access, chat-style interfaces, and mobile-friendly dashboards. I’ll structure the app around fast gameplay: character selection, stamped chat messages, polyhedral dice roller, heads-or-tails, rock-paper-scissors, live stat updates, and GM-only controls. I’ll also provide clean source code, setup instructions, TestFlight and Android internal testing builds, and a short user guide. Estimated timeline: 4-6 weeks for MVP, testing, and signed builds. I’m ready to start. Best, Smit

Hello! I’ve built a similar companion app for a tabletop campaign that improved our gameplay experience by enabling real-time updates and seamless character interactions. I can share the implementation details in chat if you're interested. For your project, I’d suggest using Flutter for cross-platform compatibility, allowing for a single codebase for both iOS and Android. The real-time updates can be handled using WebSockets to meet your under-one-second requirement. How do you envision the character management flow? Are there specific attributes beyond the basics you want to include? If you’re open, I can share my previous build and we can see if it fits your needs. Looking forward to your thoughts!

Senior Full Stack Developer here with 10+ years experience — I've built real-time multiplayer tools using React Native and Firebase that handle exactly the kind of live-sync character state and dice broadcasting your RPG companion needs. Your requirement for sub-second updates across all connected devices while persisting stat changes and rolls is the core technical challenge here, and it maps directly to work I've done with Firestore real-time listeners and WebSockets in production apps. The fact that you're serving a fixed group of six players actually simplifies the architecture significantly — no need for horizontal scaling or complex matchmaking, just a tight Firebase Realtime Database setup with security rules scoped to invite-code registration. I'd use React Native with Expo for the shared codebase outputting both your TestFlight and internal Android builds from a single pipeline, with Kotlin and Swift native modules only where needed for performance-critical pieces like the dice animation rendering. Here's what this approach gets you concretely: First, a single codebase that actually stays maintainable. React Native with Expo means I deliver both iOS and Android builds from one repo, and when you want to tweak a stat formula or add a D14 roll six months from now, it's one change, one deploy. You're not paying two developers or maintaining two apps for a six-person campaign. Second, I use AI tooling heavily across my entire workflow — Claude Code for scaffolding components, generating test coverage, debugging real-time sync edge cases, and reviewing my own code before you ever see it. For a project like this, that translates to shorter iteration cycles and fewer rounds of back-and-forth. You get working builds faster without corners cut on code quality or commenting. Third, I handle the full lifecycle from architecture through store submission. Your deliverables list includes signed builds for TestFlight and Android internal testing plus setup documentation — I've done App Store and Play Store submissions multiple times and can walk you through the review process. No handoff to another dev for deployment. For the admin panel, I'd recommend a lightweight web dashboard using React rather than cramming it into the mobile app — cleaner separation, easier for you to manage characters and invites from a laptop between sessions, and it reads from the same Firestore backend so everything stays in sync. I should be transparent: the scope here — real-time multiplayer with persistence, cross-platform native builds, admin panel, auth system, custom chat with character stamping, live dice broadcasting — is substantial. My estimate reflects what it actually takes to deliver this properly with documented source code and signed builds. Happy to jump on a 15-minute call to walk through the architecture and nail down which features to prioritize for an initial playable build versus a phase-two polish pass. Can start this week.

This aligns perfectly with my skill set. Your need for a clean, professional, and user-friendly companion app with seamless real-time updates and integrated polyhedral dice rolling requires a focused, automated system tailored for your small group. I understand the critical importance of speedy, synchronized stat updates and invitation-only access to protect your private sessions. I offer expertise in cross-platform development using Flutter for a single codebase targeting both iOS and Android, real-time data sync via Firebase or WebSockets, and creating lightweight, secure login flows. While I am new to freelancer, I have tons of experience and have done other projects off site. I would love to chat more about your project! Regards, Warrick Van Eeden
