The initial framework and backend for a student lifestyle app, covering user accounts, subscription payments, and database setup.
The goal of the Treaty MVP was to establish the initial technical foundation for a student lifestyle app. This involved setting up user authentication, database security, and payment processing so the team would have a working base ready for ongoing development.
Clerk handles user authentication, pairing global route protection with session state to keep the dashboard, finance, and schedule restricted to logged in accounts.
Paystack powers subscription billing through secure server actions that independently verify transactions and calculate expiration timestamps to prevent payment spoofing.
Supabase provides the relational database layer with strict Row Level Security policies, ensuring members can only query their own subscription records.
Simplifying early planning documents removed internal wallets and group plans in favor of clear individual time based tiers that were faster to verify and hand over.
Focusing on the core backend layers first, including accounts, payments, and data security, kept the initial build reliable and made the handover straightforward.
The MVP backend is fully functional with working login, server-verified payments, and secured database tables, ready for the next phase of development.
