DEMODE - Creative Platform for Studios, Brands and Professionals

https://demodeme.replit.app/

I’ve been working on this project for the past few months, refining and adjusting it to ensure smooth operation. After a brief release and some necessary platform fixes, I’ve fine-tuned the admin area to give full control over managing creative professionals, bookings, and overall workflow.

The platform is designed for creative professionals and mid-to-large studios handling photo and video shoots. It streamlines the management of models, videographers, photographers, and stylists, making collaboration effortless. I’ve also integrated features for influencers, allowing brands to connect with the right talent for campaigns and collaborations when needed.

Right now, it’s in the testing phase, and I’d love to hear your feedback. The app is built with Next.js and PostgreSQL, and while it’s fully functional, it still needs optimization for faster load times. The review system is still in progress—Replit agents and assistants have been stuck in a loop, burning my credits for days, but I never give up. :laughing:

At this point, I’m considering redoing it in Flask and Python—based on my past experience, deployment and functionality were way more stable with that stack.

If your studio is interested, I’d be happy to set up a deployment for you. Let me know your thoughts!

had a quick look. it appears anyone can create an account and there is no auth? social login (e.g. google) would be nice. i also tried to view my profile and it just hung. homepage looks nice. the hamburger menu doesn’t disappear when you select an option. just my initial observations.

Thank you! This feedback is gold! :moneybag: As soon as I wrap up my “review segment” (which sounds way fancier than it is), I’ll move on to the social media auth and account verification step.

If Replit keeps up its looping tantrum, I’ll be entering the bankruptcy phase faster than a tech startup with no revenue model. :rocket::money_with_wings:

Also, noticed a glitch with the hamburger menu on the deployment server… and no, I’m not talking about McDonald’s. :hamburger: Glitches are the new seasoning, I guess. :sweat_smile:

My first impression—this is a solid idea, and pet sector is always booming. On the homepage, I’d expect to see dynamic content—randomized images or whatever your app delivers—to fill the space and make it feel more engaging. Pulling in media or other elements from your database could enhance that. Also, I tried registering but haven’t received the verification email yet. Not sure what SMTP service you’re using—I used to work with SendGrid, just a thought. Overall, great concept!

did you check your spam folder? cheers for your time to look into it. when you say homepage do you mean the login page?

yes login page assuming its first entry for the user.

yes checked spam, junk folders…nada…

if it doesn’t work first time you can try to resend the verification email. i am using mailgun instead of sendgrid.

mailgun logs says the email was delivered

Yep got them all, checking your dashboard and features - looks great so far!

don’t forget to check out the dark theme lol
