Two sign-ups, with separate roles
Passengers and drivers use the same app and see different screens, because the role is a rule in the database rather than a condition in a screen.
Requests, assigned drivers, pricing per route and tracking, with separate sign-up for passengers and drivers.
Everyone searching for this pictures Uber, and the app most people actually need is not Uber. Nearly every real case is transport with a known relationship: school runs, corporate shuttles, neighbourhood vans, small-town taxis, airport transfers. Those do not need a live auction between nearby drivers; they need a request, an assigned driver, a fixed route and recurring billing, and that is what can genuinely be built here.

What gets built
Not a feature list. These are the apps people actually describe, and what the platform hands back when they do.
Passengers and drivers use the same app and see different screens, because the role is a rule in the database rather than a condition in a screen.
The passenger asks, you or a rule assigns a driver, and the driver accepts or declines. Every state change is a record, so there is a history of what happened.
A route table, a rate per kilometre, or a monthly plan for school runs and shuttles, billed as a subscription by card.
The passenger sees the state of the ride and gets a push on confirmation and arrival; a receipt is left behind, which is what a contracting company asks for at month end.
Included
Database, login, payments and publishing are part of the platform, not a list of services you go and wire up afterwards.
Every screen reads and writes models you can open, query and export. The data is a database of yours from the first minute, not a spreadsheet the app pretends to read.
Email, magic link and Google sign-in, with roles and per-record ownership enforced by Postgres itself. A badly written screen cannot become a leak, because the database answers empty.
Stripe, Pagar.me and Mercado Pago connect once. Card, Pix, boleto and subscriptions, with the card fields rendered by a hosted vault your app never touches.
One project published three ways: your own domain, an icon on the phone straight from the browser, and a signed binary submitted under your own store account.
Titles, metadata, sitemap, structured data and social images are generated with the app. Pages get found instead of only being linked.
Real React, edited line by line or by clicking the element on screen, exported as a ZIP or pushed to your GitHub. No lock-in you have to negotiate your way out of.
How it works
Three steps, and the second one is the one people do not believe until they watch it.
Say what the app does and what it has to remember. No diagram, no schema, no naming a single framework.
Screens, data models, login and payments appear while you read. Anything you do not like, you say so and it changes.
Live on your domain in seconds, with version history behind you. Tuesday's conversation is Tuesday's release.
Start here
This is a complete first message, not a slogan. Paste it, change the nouns to yours, and you have an app to react to instead of a blank page.
Build a school transport app. Guardians sign up and register students with address, school and shift; drivers have their own sign-up with vehicle and capacity; each student is tied to a route and a driver; the guardian sees their child's route, marks an absence for the day and gets a push when pickup and drop-off are confirmed; the driver sees only their own route's list, in stop order, and confirms each pickup; the monthly fee is a card subscription with payment history; and I see a dashboard with routes, occupancy per route, absences for the week and overdue accounts.
Ready to start from
A template is a working app with data already in it. Open one, make it yours, publish it under your own account.
Class booking for a studio with a hard capacity: credits, a waiting list that moves itself, and a door roster that records who came.
A salon diary where every appointment reserves the turnaround, so a gap on the board is time that can really be sold — and an assistant that says which gaps are worth a call.
Questions
You can build the part that decides: requests, driver assignment, ride states, pricing and payment. What you cannot build is the real-time contest between nearby drivers with a position updating on the map every second, which depends on continuous tracking and is where the cost of such an app actually sits. For transport with a known relationship that is no loss; for an open marketplace of rides, it is.
Keep looking
Most apps end up sitting between two categories. Nothing stops you from asking for both in the same paragraph.
Availability per professional, services with different durations, a deposit taken at booking and a reminder the day before.
Classes with limited places, check-in, a training plan per member and a membership billed as a subscription.
Availability per practitioner and per room, patient records, insurance and private pricing, confirmations and reminders.
Grooming appointments, a record per animal, prepaid packages and a reminder for anyone who has not been back.
Job cards, quotes the customer approves, a history per vehicle and a bay schedule.
Registration, a QR-code ticket, check-in at the door, the programme and announcements for people already there.
Availability per professional, confirmation, reminders and check-in — the classic agenda, without the spreadsheet.
Menu, cart, delivery fee by area, payment and order tracking, in your own app and with no marketplace commission.
A QR-code menu, ordering at the table, reservations and a loyalty scheme, without a PDF pretending to be a menu.
Free to start, no credit card. You only pay when you want to publish under your own brand, and you take the code with you if you ever want to.
