Every marketplace startup goes through the same grind:
Month one — auth, roles, user profiles
Month two — messaging, notifications, email system
Month three — admin panel, moderation, review system
...and only THEN do you start working on what actually makes your product different
I went through this 3 times. On the fourth, I packaged it all up and turned it into a product.
