🛠️ Built GMB Booking in 2 Weeks - Tech Stack Review & Feedback Needed

What's up devs! 🔥

Just shipped the MVP of GMB Booking - a booking platform MicroSaaS. Looking for some technical feedback from fellow developers before I scale this thing up.

The Build 💻

Started this as a side project to solve booking headaches for local businesses. Went from idea to deployed MVP in about 2 weeks of evening coding sessions.

Tech Stack Deep Dive 🚀

Would love your thoughts on my choices:

  • Frontend: React/Tailwind Css
  • Backend: Node/Express.js
  • Database: MongoDB
  • Payments: Razorpay integration
  • Deployment: Netlify/Render

What I'm Curious About 🤓

  1. Architecture decisions - Would you have built it differently?
  2. Scalability concerns - What bottlenecks do you see coming?
  3. Security review - Any red flags in the booking/payment flow?
  4. Performance optimization - Where can I improve speed/UX?
  5. Code quality - Does the user flow feel smooth or janky?

Live Demo Time 🎯

Try it here: https://gmbbooking.netlify.app/

Testing Notes:

  • Payment gateway is in test mode (dummy UPI works)
  • Try breaking it - seriously, find the bugs!
  • Mobile responsiveness feedback appreciated

The Real Talk 💯

This is my first serious attempt at a booking platform. I know the market is saturated, but I'm betting on execution and niche focus over feature bloat.

Questions for experienced devs:

  1. How do you handle appointment conflicts at scale?
  2. Best practices for calendar integrations?
  3. Tips for optimizing booking confirmation flows?
  4. Worth open-sourcing parts of this?

Drop your technical feedback! Roast my code, suggest improvements, or just tell me what you'd do differently. All feedback helps me level up! 🙏
