Over the last 5 months, I built a complete, production-ready e-commerce platform called <strong>KICKNOIR</strong> — solo, bootstrapped, from total scratch.</p> <p>It's live, it's stable, and it's ready for a new owner.</p> <h2> The Story </h2> <p>Building a full-stack app of this scale alone was one of the hardest things I've done. From database architecture to secure payment flows, KICKNOIR became my personal bootcamp.</p> <p>I'm selling now because I'm ready for my next challenge — and I want this platform in the hands of someone who has the time and vision to take it further.</p> <h2> 🛠 Tech Stack </h2> <ul> <li> <strong>Frontend:</strong> Angular 19 — deployed on Vercel</li> <li> <strong>Backend:</strong> Spring Boot 4 — deployed on Render</li> <li> <strong>Database:</strong> PostgreSQL on Neon</li> <li> <strong>Payments:</strong> Stripe with full webhook handling</li> <li> <strong>DevOps:</strong> Docker + Docker Compose for local dev, GitHub Actions for CI/CD</li> </ul> <h2> ✅ Key Features </h2> <ul> <li> <strong>Admin Dashboard</strong> — Full control over products, orders, and customer data</li> <li> <strong>Secure Auth</strong> — JWT-based authentication with role-based access control (RBAC)</li> <li> <strong>One Command Setup</strong> — Spin up the entire environment locally with <code>docker-compose up</code> </li> <li> <strong>White Label Ready</strong> — All branding and config abstracted for easy customization</li> </ul> <h2> 🔧 A Hard Problem I Solved </h2> <p>One of the trickiest parts was guaranteeing data consistency between the Spring Boot backend and Stripe's payment state. I built a robust webhook listener that handles async events — so even if a user closes their browser mid-checkout, the order status in PostgreSQL updates correctly once Stripe confirms the payment. This is production-tested and solid.</p> <h2> 👀 See It in Action </h2> <p><a href="https://kicknoir.vercel.app" class="crayons-btn crayons-btn--primary" rel="noopener noreferrer">Explore the KICKNOIR Live Demo</a> </p> <p> View Test Credentials <br> Use this Stripe test card to try the full checkout flow: <ul> <li> <strong>Card Number:</strong> 4242 4242 4242 4242</li> <li> <strong>Expiry:</strong> Any future date</li> <li> <strong>CVC:</strong> Any 3 digits </li> </ul> </p> <h2> 📦 What's Included in the Sale </h2> <ul> <li>Full source code — frontend and backend</li> <li>All deployment configs and Docker setup</li> <li> <strong>30 days of direct email support</strong> from me — architecture walkthroughs, deployment help, handover calls</li> </ul> <p><strong>Asking $3,000 — negotiable for serious buyers.</strong></p> <p>To put that in context: a freelancer building this from scratch would cost you $15,000–$40,000. You're buying months of work, already deployed and tested.</p> <h2> 💬 Interested? </h2> <p>DM me here on DEV or reach out via email.
