Complete Development of Peer-to-Peer Package Delivery Web App (Next.js + TypeScript)

Project: Next.js-Based Peer-to-Peer Package Delivery Platform Detailed Explanation for Developers: This project aims to build a web platform facilitating peer-to-peer package delivery by connecting travelers with senders. The platform will have three main interfaces: Traveler, Sender, and Admin. The project has some existing code, but you have the flexibility to rework it or start from scratch if you believe it will lead to a better solution. Key Features and Modules (By User Role): 1. Traveler Dashboard: Registration & Authentication: Multi-step registration form with personal information fields. Email, phone verification, and KYC (Know Your Customer) integration for identity verification. Secure login using JWT (JSON Web Tokens). Technical Details: Implement APIs for user authentication (register, login, logout), verification (email, phone), and KYC integration (e.g., using Jumio or Onfido). Package Management: Create, edit, delete, activate/deactivate package listings. Multi-step form for package details (name, description, availability dates, location, price). Display a list of created packages. Technical Details: Implement CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations for package management via APIs. Orders & Tracking: View a list of orders placed on their packages. View detailed order information (sender, receiver, delivery address, status). Real-time order status updates (e.g., pending, accepted, in transit, delivered). Technical Details: Implement APIs for order management (view, update status) and real-time tracking (using Firebase or WebSockets). Account Management: Update personal information, profile picture, and password. Account deactivation option. Technical Details: Implement APIs for user profile management and password reset. Reviews: View reviews received from senders, including individual review details (feedback, rating). Technical Details: Implement APIs for review management (listing and details). 2. Sender Dashboard: Registration & Authentication: Similar to the Traveler dashboard, with multi-step registration, verification, and JWT authentication. Technical Details: Same APIs as Traveler registration, with the possibility of KYC depending on requirements. Package Selection & Ordering: Browse available traveler packages with search and filtering (by location, date, price, traveler reviews). View detailed package and traveler information. Place orders with pickup and delivery details. Real-time order tracking. Technical Details: Implement APIs for package search/filtering, order placement, and real-time order tracking. Account Management: Similar to the Traveler dashboard. Technical Details: Same APIs as Traveler account management. Reviews: Leave reviews for travelers after delivery completion and view review history. Technical Details: Implement APIs for review management. 3. Admin Panel: Dashboard: Overview of key metrics (total users, active packages, orders), notifications for new activity, and data visualizations using [login to view URL] or Recharts. User Management: View, edit, activate/deactivate traveler and sender accounts. Technical Details: Implement CRUD operations for user management via APIs. Package Management: View, edit, delete, or disable packages. Technical Details: Implement CRUD operations for package management via APIs. Order Management: Monitor and update order statuses. Technical Details: Implement CRUD operations for order management via APIs. Review Management: View, flag, or delete inappropriate reviews. Technical Details: Implement APIs for review management. Admin Profile Management: Manage admin profile details and change passwords. Technical Details: Implement APIs for admin profile management. 4. Advanced Functionalities: Payment Integration (Escrow): Integrate a secure payment gateway (e.g., Stripe Connect) with an escrow system to hold funds until delivery is confirmed. Multi-Language Support: Implement support for English, Persian, and German. Support & Issue Management: Implement a support ticket system for user inquiries. Real-Time Chat: Real-time chat with media sending capabilities between travelers and senders. Package Restrictions: Implement a system to manage restricted items, including flagging, pre-approval, and notifications. Terms & Conditions: Create a comprehensive Terms and Conditions document. Testing & Deployment: End-to-end testing and final deployment. Shipping Insurance Integration: Integrate with third-party insurance providers (Shipsurance, InsureShip, U-PIC) to allow users to purchase insurance. 5. Technical Requirements: Frontend: [login to view URL] with a responsive and user-friendly design. Backend: Node.js with REST APIs, MongoDB database, Sequelize ORM, JWT authentication, Stripe Connect for escrow, WebSockets for real-time features, file storage, email service, security middleware, and KYC integration. 6. Deliverables: Fully functional Traveler, Sender, and Admin interfaces. Integrated payment system with escrow. Real-time chat. Multi-language support. Restricted item management. Terms and Conditions document. Deployed and tested application. 7. Key Development Considerations: Real-time order tracking. Separate workflows for traveler and sender offers. Robust restricted item control. Live package tracking with a user-friendly interface. Summary: This project is to develop a peer-to-peer package delivery platform using [login to view URL] and Node.js. It involves building three user interfaces (Traveler, Sender, and Admin) with various functionalities, including registration, package management, order tracking, payments, chat, and more. Key technical aspects include REST APIs, MongoDB, JWT authentication, Stripe Connect, WebSockets, and KYC integration. The project also requires advanced features like multi-language support, support tickets, and restricted item management.
