I am looking for an experienced developer/team to build an MVP civic issue reporting platform for a beta launch in Kanyakumari District, Tamil Nadu, India. The long-term vision is to expand the platform across Tamil Nadu and eventually Pan-India, so the backend and database architecture should be scalable. The platform will allow citizens to report genuine public/civic issues such as potholes, garbage, drainage, water problems, streetlights and other local infrastructure issues. This will initially operate as an independent citizen platform, not an official government application. Core Citizen Features The first version should include: * Simple mobile-friendly interface * Tamil + English * Citizen registration/login * Report an issue * Upload photo/video * Automatic GPS/location capture * Select issue category * Add description * Generate unique issue ID * View “My Reports” * Track issue status * View nearby reported issues * Public issue map * Support an existing issue * Notifications/status updates Issue Categories Initial categories: * Roads / Potholes * Garbage * Drainage * Water / Water Leakage * Streetlights * Electricity * Public Toilets * Government Schools * Government Hospitals / PHCs * Bus Stops / Public Infrastructure * Trees / Fallen Trees * Other Categories must be manageable from the admin panel. Issue Workflow The core workflow is: Citizen Report → Verification → Responsible Authority → Forwarded → Follow-up → Escalation → Resolution → Resolution Verification → Closed Each issue should maintain a complete timeline/history. Possible statuses: * Submitted * Under Verification * Verified * Assigned * Forwarded * Action in Progress * Resolution Claimed * Resolved * Reopened * Rejected / Duplicate Duplicate Issues Multiple citizens may report the same problem. The admin should be able to merge duplicate reports so that there is: One issue + multiple citizen supporters rather than multiple separate complaints. Admin Dashboard A web-based admin dashboard is required. Admin should be able to: * View all reports * Verify/reject reports * Merge duplicates * Change categories * View location/photos * Assign responsible authority * Record official complaint/reference numbers * Track follow-ups * Set deadlines/SLA * Escalate overdue issues * Upload resolution photos * Mark issues resolved/reopened * View statistics and reports Dashboard should include basic analytics such as: * Total issues * Verified * Pending * In progress * Resolved * Overdue * Reopened * Issues by category * Issues by location Resolution Verification When an issue is marked as resolved, the system should support: Before Photo → After Photo → Verification → Closed AI-based image comparison is NOT required in the MVP, but the architecture should allow it to be added later. Government Integration Government integration is not required for V1. This is an independent platform. However, the admin should be able to record: * Department/authority * Official complaint channel * Official reference number * Date submitted * Follow-up details Future versions may integrate directly with government systems. Language The application should initially support: Tamil + English The interface should be extremely simple and suitable for both urban and rural users. Technology I am open to recommendations from experienced developers. A PWA/mobile-first application + web admin dashboard is acceptable for the MVP. The backend must be scalable so Android/iOS applications and additional districts can be added later. Important Ownership Requirement All of the following must belong to me/the project owner: * Source code * Database * Domain * Cloud account * API keys * Design files * Documentation Do not build the project using developer-owned accounts that I cannot access. What I Need From You When submitting your proposal, please provide: 1. Examples of similar apps/platforms you have built 2. Recommended technology stack 3. Proposed architecture 4. Estimated development timeline 5. Total development cost 6. Estimated monthly hosting/running cost 7. Whether you are an individual developer or team 8. Post-launch support options 9. Any recommendations to improve the MVP Please do not submit a generic proposal. I would prefer someone who has experience with: * Mobile/PWA development * Web dashboards * GPS/location services * Maps * Image/file uploads * Notifications * Backend/API development * Scalable database architecture Project Goal The first beta will be launched in Kanyakumari District. The objective is to prove the complete civic issue workflow with real citizens and real public issues before expanding to other districts in Tamil Nadu. The initial product should be simple, reliable and scalable rather than overloaded with features.

Hello, Should citizens be allowed to see exact locations of every public report, or should sensitive locations be approximate on the public map? The hardest part of this MVP is keeping the full civic issue lifecycle consistent from GPS based citizen reporting through verification, duplicate merging, authority assignment, SLA escalation, resolution evidence, reopening, and final closure. The database must also support multiple citizens linked to one issue without losing individual report history as the platform expands beyond Kanyakumari. I would build the MVP as a mobile first PWA with React, a FastAPI or Node.js backend, PostgreSQL with PostGIS for location data, and a React based admin dashboard. The architecture would use REST APIs, role based permissions, Tamil and English localization, secure media storage, GPS and maps, notifications, issue timelines, duplicate merging, supporter relationships, SLA tracking, resolution photos, analytics, and audit logs. I would keep government integration and AI image comparison outside V1 while designing clear API boundaries for both later additions. Best regards, Akif U.

This is the kind of MVP where simplicity, reliable issue tracking, and a strong foundation for future expansion matter more than adding too many features at launch. I can build the complete citizen-to-resolution workflow for your Kanyakumari beta: bilingual reporting, GPS-based locations, media uploads, issue IDs, public/nearby reports, supporting existing issues, notifications, duplicate merging, authority assignment, escalation, resolution verification, and a clear issue history. The admin side can give you full control over verification, categories, authorities, SLA/follow-ups, resolution evidence, and district-level analytics. I’d also structure the system so adding more districts, mobile apps, and future government/AI integrations doesn’t require rebuilding the core platform. I’d be happy to provide the recommended architecture, stack, development plan, cost, hosting estimate, and post-launch support approach along with relevant examples. Most importantly, all source code, database, cloud resources, API keys, documentation, and design assets would remain under your ownership. Best regards, Ritesh

Hi, this is a project I'd genuinely enjoy building — civic-tech with real workflow depth (verification, escalation, duplicate-merging) rather than a basic complaint form. Similar work: I've built PWA-based reporting/tracking platforms with GPS capture, photo/video uploads, status timelines, and admin dashboards with analytics — the core patterns here overlap closely. Stack: React (PWA, mobile-first, Tamil+English i18n) + Node.js/Express + PostgreSQL (PostGIS for location queries) + S3-compatible storage for media + Firebase for notifications. Architecture: Modular backend (issues, users, auth, admin, notifications as separate services/modules) behind a REST API, multi-tenant-ready DB schema so new districts = new location scope, not new codebase. Timeline: ~2 weeks for MVP (citizen app + admin dashboard + core workflow). Cost: Happy to share a detailed quote after a quick requirements call. I'm an individual full-stack developer. Post-launch: monthly retainer for support/features. Suggestion: add a lightweight SLA auto-escalation rule engine from day one — cheap to build now, painful to retrofit later. All code, DB, domain, and accounts will be set up under your ownership from day one. Best regards, Debashis

Hi, I’m a Flutter developer with 4 years of experience and have worked on 8+ mobile applications. I have experience with Flutter/Dart, REST APIs, Firebase, Supabase, authentication, notifications, GPS/location, maps and image/file uploads. I went through your civic issue reporting MVP requirements and I can help build the citizen app/PWA along with the admin dashboard. Suggested stack: Flutter, Supabase/PostgreSQL, REST APIs, Firebase Cloud Messaging and Google Maps. I would keep the architecture modular and scalable for adding more districts later. The issue workflow, unique issue IDs, status history, duplicate/merge reports, citizen supporters, location-based issues, notifications and resolution verification can all be structured into the MVP. Timeline: 45–60 days Rate: ₹950/hour Estimated effort: 200–250 hours For the beta, I recommend focusing on the complete reporting → verification → assignment → follow-up → resolution workflow and keeping AI image comparison and government API integration for future versions. I’m an individual developer and will personally handle the development and communication. I also recommend using project-owner accounts for Firebase, Supabase, hosting and domain so you retain complete ownership. I can share my previous Flutter work and discuss the UI/API requirements with you. Thanks!

Ethan here, from South Africa. Your project immediately caught my eye. I'm really excited to partner with you. Creating a civic issue reporting platform for Kanyakumari District is a fantastic initiative. I understand you want a simple, mobile-friendly interface where citizens can report issues like potholes and garbage, while ensuring the backend is scalable for future growth. My approach would involve building a user-centric design that incorporates Tamil and English, focusing on clear navigation and efficient reporting features. I would implement a robust admin dashboard for easy management of reports and streamline the issue workflow to ensure timely responses. Quality assurance will be prioritized by testing the app thoroughly across different devices and ensuring the database is secure and scalable. It's essential to focus not just on the technical task but on fostering community engagement and trust in the platform. Please feel free to reach out so we can connect and further explore how I can contribute to your project's success. Kind regards, Ethan

The make-or-break part here is not the report form, it is the workflow behind it: verification, merging duplicates into one issue with many supporters, SLA deadlines, escalation, and a timeline that survives every status change. That is the same shape as the approval and audit trails I have built into ERP and payroll systems since 2011, .NET APIs over SQL Server with React on the front. For the MVP I would go mobile-first PWA in Tamil and English, ASP.NET Core API, spatial queries for nearby issues and the public map, object storage for before and after photos, everything in your cloud account, your repo, your keys from day one. Native Android and iOS is not my lane, but the API stays ready for whoever adds them. The listed budget will not carry all of this, so I would stage it: reporting plus admin verification first, then duplicate merge and escalation, then notifications and analytics, scope fixed per milestone. Who actually does the verification step in the beta, you or a small volunteer group?
