From Design to Development

When I first started working on Beauty Boss, I began by sketching out rough mockups on paper to visualize how I wanted the app to look and function. I collaborated with a stakeholder to gather early feedback, ensuring that the core features aligned with real business needs. This iterative approach helped refine the user experience before writing any code.

For the frontend, I chose Flutter because I was already familiar with it, and it allowed me to build a responsive and visually appealing interface quickly. Flutter's cross-platform capabilities also ensured that the app would work seamlessly on both mobile and tablet devices with a single codebase.

On the backend, I opted for PocketBase, a lightweight and flexible backend-as-a-service solution. This choice allowed me to avoid the hassle of writing and maintaining a complex backend service myself. With PocketBase, I could handle user authentication, database management, and real-time synchronization effortlessly.

Deployment

For deployment, I decided to deploy the project on Google Cloud Run. This decision ensures a low cost while offering great availability for my client. Cloud Run makes it easy to scale the app automatically based on incoming traffic, providing a seamless experience for users without the need for manual intervention.

What's Next?

Beauty Boss is already a powerful tool, but I have several enhancements planned to make it even more useful for beauticians and small business owners.

Better statistics and insights. Currently, the app provides general business analytics, but I plan to introduce more detailed statistics—especially at the individual customer level. This will allow beauticians to track customer spending, service history, and engagement patterns more effectively.
UI refactoring and enhancements. While the current interface is user-friendly, I aim to refine and improve the design further. This includes better navigation, a more visually appealing layout, and an optimized experience for both mobile and tablet users.
Open sourcing the project. Once the app reaches a more stable point and additional features are implemented, I plan to open source the project. This will allow other developers to contribute and use it for their own business management needs, promoting collaboration and further innovation.

These updates will help Beauty Boss become an even more indispensable tool for beauty professionals, providing them with deeper insights and a smoother user experience.
