Full-Stack Developer (Node.js + Next.js + PostgreSQL) for Holy Grail Portal (Crimson Codex, Secret )
Description
I am building a web platform called Holy Grail Portal, which includes two connected systems:
1) Crimson Codex
A public, immutable “intention ledger” where users submit written vows that become permanent entries in a public ledger. Entries are timestamped, hashed, and counted toward a goal of 144,000 participants.
2) Secret Knowledge University
A structured knowledge base where users explore topics, documents, and curated learning paths, with different access levels (Public / Initiate / Advanced / Inner Circle).
Both systems will share one user account system and run on my Hostinger VPS (Linux).
I already have a detailed technical blueprint and content design and am looking for someone to implement the system end-to-end.
Tech Stack (Preferred)
Frontend: Next.js / React
Backend: Node.js (Express or NestJS)
Database: PostgreSQL
VPS: Linux (Ubuntu/Debian)
Reverse Proxy: Nginx
SSL: Let’s Encrypt
Mobile: Progressive Web App (PWA)
Optional: AI dev tools like Base44 or Lovable are welcome if they speed up development
Required Features
Crimson Codex
Vow submission form (display name + intention + optional image upload)
Entries are immutable after submission (read-only)
Cryptographic hashing of entries
Founder Key generation (e.g., CK-000001)
Public ledger page
144,000 live counter
Witness feature
Snapshot + export system (CSV / JSON / static HTML)
Snapshot verification page
Admin moderation panel
Secret Knowledge University
Knowledge content system (articles, media, documents)
Categories and tags
Access levels / permissions:
Public
Initiate
Advanced
Inner Circle
Admin approval workflow
Versioning
Search
User profiles showing progress and participation
Mobile Requirement
The site must be built as a mobile-first Progressive Web App (PWA), installable on iOS and Android (no app store required at launch).
VPS + Deployment Responsibilities
You will:
Set up PostgreSQL
Deploy backend and frontend
Configure Nginx reverse proxy
Set up SSL
Configure backups and snapshots
Provide documentation for running and maintaining the system
AI Tools (Optional)
I have active accounts with Base44 and Lovable that you can use if it helps build faster, but the final app must:
✅ Run independently on my VPS
✅ Be exportable and maintainable
✅ Not lock me into a platform I cannot leave
What to Include in Your Proposal
Examples of similar work (full-stack apps)
How you typically deploy apps to a VPS
Your suggested phasing and timeline
Your estimated cost for each phase
Ownership & Rights
All source code, databases, and assets created for this project become my property upon payment.
Notes
This project is intended to be built in phases.
Crimson Codex is Phase 1.
Secret Knowledge University is Phase 2.
Please apply only if you are comfortable with both backend and frontend development and VPS deployment.
