Project description:
"I’m building a dedicated marketplace for second-hand horse gear—picture the functionality of Depop or Poshmark, but tailored exclusively to equestrians. I need the complete design and development of an iOS and Android app that feels clean and premium while still carrying a subtle rustic, barn-inspired aesthetic.

Core user flow
• Sellers snap photos, fill out structured fields (brand, size, category, condition) and publish instantly.
• Buyers browse with smart filters, message sellers in-app, purchase securely through Stripe, and release funds only after confirming delivery.
• Profiles display ratings, reviews, and—if users choose—verification badges to foster trust.

Key requirements
• Cross-platform build for both iOS and Android from a single codebase.
• Modern, intuitive UI that marries premium polish with an equestrian mood board (think warm leathers, muted earth tones, clean typography).
• Fast image handling, thumbnail generation, and basic editing (crop, rotate).
• Robust search and layered filters that remember recent selections.
• Real-time messaging between buyers and sellers, including read receipts.
• Stripe integration set up in marketplace (escrow) mode so payouts are triggered only after buyer approval.
• Admin dashboard (web or in-app) for listing moderation, dispute handling, and analytics.
• Scalable backend with user authentication, push notifications, and data encryption.

Deliverables
1. High-fidelity UI/UX mock-ups covering every major screen and state.
2. Production-ready, tested mobile apps published under my developer accounts on the App Store and Google Play.
3. Documentation: architecture overview, environment setup, and a concise user guide.
4. Post-launch support window for critical fixes and Stripe compliance updates.

If you’ve shipped marketplace apps before—especially those using Stripe Connect—or you ride and understand tack terminology, that’s a big plus. Let me know what tech stack you propose, any similar work you can share, and your estimated timeline to beta and full release." (client-provided description)
