02 · Overview

What it does.

The vendor side of Ring Leader. Florists, caterers, photographers, venues run their listings, take inquiries, and manage bookings here. Realtime messaging is shared with the bride app — same threads, same timeline, no copy-paste between platforms. Stripe handles deposits and final payouts. Built end-to-end, same hands as the mobile app, so the contract between bride and vendor surfaces never drifts.

04 · Decisions

The choices that shaped the build.

Tech is downstream of decisions. These are the calls made early enough to compound the right way. The ones a code review six months later still agrees with.

Same Socket.IO bus as bride app

Single source of message ordering across mobile + web. No bridge code, no duplicate threads, no race conditions when both sides type at once.

Stripe Connect over manual payouts

Vendor onboarding, deposit holding, and payout reconciliation in one wire. Less ops surface for the marketplace, less paper for the vendor.

Shared store shape with bride app

Redux Toolkit slices for bookings, threads, listings — same contract on web + mobile. State change on one surface renders cleanly on the other without divergent reducers.
