Friendship – Social Network Meetup App With Laravel and Flutter

Friendship is a fully self-hosted, white-label social platform for communities that meet in real life. People post, chat, follow friends, drop plans on a map, buy tickets, go live, send gifts, and get paid as hosts — on the web and in one Flutter app for iOS, Android, and PWA. You own the brand, the data, and the revenue. No per-user SaaS fee. No third-party AI API required.

The package is a complete ecosystem: a Laravel 13 backend (marketing site, admin, REST API, web installer), a logged-in web app, and a Flutter 3 client that talks to the same API. Install once. Run website, admin, iPhone, Android, and /app from one platform.

What’s Included

• Laravel 13 backend (PHP 8.3+) — REST API (Sanctum), MySQL, queued jobs, Laravel Reverb realtime, scheduled tasks, Stripe/PayPal/Paystack/Flutterwave checkout, Stripe Connect host payouts, Agora live tokens, FCM push, and Admin settings that power web + mobile
• Flutter app (iOS + Android + Web) — one codebase: feed, stories, reels, map meetups, chat, calls, live rooms, wallet, Apple IAP, Stripe Payment Sheet, deep links, and PWA at /app
• Admin panel — users, content, meetups, orders, live rooms, reports, gifts, coins, subscriptions, push, ads, onboarding, legal, and every API key
• Marketing website — homepage, features, meetups, safety, premium, communities, contact, privacy, terms, public share pages, download QR
• Logged-in web app — feed, meet, inbox, live, wallet, people, communities, and settings in the browser (same accounts as the phone app)
• Web installer — requirements check, database, migrations, optional demo seed, admin account, then lock file at /install
• English HTML documentation — VPS, installer, Stripe, Agora, Maps, Firebase, queue/Reverb/cron, Flutter keys, admin tour, go-live, troubleshooting

What You Do After Purchase (buyer checklist)

1. Unzip. Open Documentation/index.html (no purchase key).
2. Put the Laravel project on a VPS (not typical shared hosting). Point the domain document root at public/.
3. Visit https://yourdomain.com/install. Enter app name, HTTPS URL, MySQL, and your admin login. Optionally seed demo users.
4. Sign in at /admin. Set logo, colors, support email, Terms, and Privacy.
5. Create accounts at Stripe, Agora, Google Maps, Firebase, and your SMTP host. Paste keys in Admin → Settings (see Payments and APIs below). Test in sandbox first.
6. Keep queue, Reverb, and cron running (Supervisor). Without them, tickets, email, chat, and reminders stall.
7. Build Flutter with --dart-define=API_BASE_URL=https://yourdomain.com. Replace Maps / Firebase placeholders, bundle ID, and deep-link domain before store upload. Copy flutter build web into public/app/ for the PWA.

Flutter Mobile + Web App

One codebase. Same users, wallet, and content as the Laravel site.

• People — follow (default) or friend-request mode, profiles, @username, QR, waves nearby, verification requests

• Live & calls — Agora live rooms (comments, gifts) and 1:1 voice/video when Agora is enabled
• Wallet — credits, coin packages, catalog gifts, host payouts, optional gift cash-out (keep off on iOS if it conflicts with Apple 1.1.4)
• White-label — app name, logo, and colors come from GET /api/config. No rebuild for branding. Languages: English, Spanish, Arabic (RTL)
• Sugar dating — optional tab, OFF by default. Enable only in Admin and with --dart-define=SUGAR_ENABLED=true. Keep off for most App Store listings
