Built a Flutter delivery app with Chargily payments — looking for feedback
Spent 3 months building a delivery app in Flutter for a client in Oran. Just shipped it. Features: - Real-time order tracking - Chargily integration (CCP/Baridimob) - Arabic + French support - Offline mode for delivery agents Hardest part was Chargily integration. Happy to share what I learned.
Tips for getting your first freelance client in Algeria
After helping a few junior devs land their first clients: 1. Build one real project and put it on GitHub 2. LinkedIn is underused by Algerian devs — fill your profile 3. Local Facebook business groups still work for small clients 4. Your first client comes from your network, not cold outreach 5. Start cheaper than you think, then raise rates The market is growing fast.
Introducing DevDZ — a community platform for Algerian developers 🇩🇿
Hey everyone! I've been working on DevDZ for the past few weeks and I'm excited to share it. DevDZ is a community platform built specifically for Algerian developers — share projects, find jobs, ask questions, and connect with devs across the country. Stack: Laravel 11, Tailwind CSS v4. Would love your feedback — what features would you like to see next?
DevDZ is exactly what the Algerian dev community needed
Just discovered DevDZ and I'm impressed. Clean UI, fast, and actually useful. As someone who's been freelancing for 3 years and always struggled to find local opportunities, this fills a real gap. Great work @abbes. The Laravel codebase is clean too — I checked the GitHub 👀
How I structure large Laravel projects after 3 years of freelancing
After 20+ Laravel projects I've settled on a structure that works: - Feature-based folders inside app/ - Form Requests for all validation - Action classes for business logic - Repository pattern only when needed - Policies for authorization The biggest mistake I see is putting everything in controllers. Keep them thin.
