HireBuddy Wiki

Welcome to the HireBuddy project wiki 👋
This wiki documents the vision, architecture, and development journey of HireBuddy as it is built in public.


📌 What is HireBuddy?

HireBuddy is a local task-helper platform designed to solve everyday problems — small errands, one-off tasks, and local help — in a simple, trustworthy, and practical way.

The focus is on:

  • Real-world usability
  • Minimal but scalable architecture
  • Trust, safety, and transparency
  • Gradual open-sourcing and community learning

🎯 Project Goals

  • Build a working product from scratch in public
  • Prioritize simplicity over premature complexity
  • Design for real users, not just demos
  • Share decisions, trade-offs, and learnings
  • Open-source components incrementally

🧱 High-Level Architecture (Planned)

Frontend

  • React Native (Android-first)
  • Clean, minimal UI
  • Focus on task posting & helper discovery

Backend (Planned)

  • REST / GraphQL APIs
  • Authentication & user trust layer
  • Task lifecycle management
  • Scalable, cloud-friendly design

Core Principles

  • Security by design
  • Scalability without over-engineering
  • Clear boundaries between components

📖 Build in Public

HireBuddy is being built in public:

  • Progress updates shared regularly
  • Architecture and design decisions documented
  • Mistakes and rewrites included
  • No “perfect code” illusion

The goal is learning, transparency, and building something useful.


🤝 Contributing (Coming Soon)

Contribution guidelines will be added once the core structure stabilizes.

Planned contribution areas:

  • UI/UX improvements
  • Bug fixes
  • Documentation
  • Feature discussions
