I’m hoping to connect with a Backend Developer who wants to be a cofounder. I'm using FlutterFlow as my base platform for the frontend UI and need to create a backend preferably with Suapbase for my app. I'm working on the UI/UX now.
I’ve been designing/working with various clients within the Quick Service Restaurants (QSR) space for 10+ years. During this time is how I found a Niche Market and identified the Pain Points these INDEPENDENT restaurant owners are experiencing (no franchises, only independent restaurants). The product I'm building SOLVES their PAIN POINTS while adding DESIGN VALUE to their Digital Menu Boards needs.
- I have 15+ years of experience as a self-employed designer, 10 yrs of which as a web designer (UX/UI). 20+ years in the design field.
- Project has paid market research.
- Project has a proven market fit!
- A product that Solves Customers' Pain-Points for a niche market which is under serviced.
- Planned Inbound & Outbound marketing strategies.
- Plus, I have been designing for this niche market the past 10+ years. I know from firsthand experience dealing with these restaurant owners.
My approach is NOT to start from scratch, rather utilize a well-established (20 yrs) Open Source Digital Signage CMS as a headless backend where all the heavy lifting has been proven successful and to create a USER FRIENDLY front-end with FlutterFlow using the Open Source API’s.
If you are looking to develop outside your regular job:
- B2B SaaS model that has great profit potential for a couple of co-founders.
- Interested in FlutterFlow and can code full backend development.
- Willing to commit 5-8 hours per week.
- Understand it’s not a sprint rather a marathon approach.
- Appreciate/Respect each other’s strengths and what we bring to the table for the project to be a success.
- Understands the difference between Product Led Growth and MVP go to market strategies.
- Wants to create a lifestyle company that will employ both cofounders full-time while the company continues to grow more profitable.

This looks solid. Primarily, that kind of background makes your project stand out, including experience in the QSR space. However, when it comes to the backend, Supabase is a good choice, but I think you should also consider Back4app. It's a Backend as a Service (BaaS) provider that gives you a bit more flexibility. You get both GraphQL and REST APIs, it connects easily with FlutterFlow, and it's set up to scale with minimal extra work. Some developers like it because it doesn't feel as restrictive as Supabase, and it can help you launch faster without worrying about the heavy infrastructure stuff.
Therefore, if you're aiming for a lean MVP, it could be worth trying out both and seeing which feels like a better fit. FlutterFlow works smoothly with either option.
please share requirements
Hey Jon, I'm you but on the Flutter side. :)
I'm down to chat!
Hey Don - It's been a little while since I've been online with indie hackers - let me know how I can contact you. When I click your profile name, it takes me to a list of your comments on posts. No profile page, no DM link - odd?
Perhaps it's a IH+ feature now? 😂
Actually I thought the same thing when I looked for your DM/contact. IH seems to have gone through some changes? You can email at [email protected], maybe theres a slack out there for us :)
