Tech Stack Web Frontend: React.js + Tailwind CSS Backend & Realtime DB: Supabase (PostgreSQL, Auth, Edge Functions) Mobile Application: Capacitor (for native app packaging), integrated via Android Studio for Android and planned iOS deployment Core Functionality
Admin Dashboard Job Management: Create, assign, update, and delete tow jobs Driver Management: Add, edit, and monitor driver status and activities Reporting Module: Generate operational and performance reports Notification System: Real-time job status feedback via toast messages (web) and push notifications (mobile)
Driver App Job Inbox: View assigned jobs with real-time updates Job Workflow: Update job progress (e.g., en route, job complete) Profile: Manage driver-specific settings and preferences
Current Challenge: Push Notification Implementation With the mobile app version now fully operational through Capacitor and Android Studio, the primary challenge lies in implementing a reliable and scalable push notification system to replicate and extend the existing toast-based web notification model.
Existing Web Notification Flow Notifications are triggered via toast messages, displayed in-app for real-time user feedback All notification events (e.g., job assignment, completion) are stored in Supabase for traceability
