Build a ride-hailing app for a local market or niche audience (airport runs, campus rides, pet-friendly rides) with these features:
1. Two sides in one build: a rider app and a driver app, both mobile-first.
2. Rider flow: set a pickup pin on a live map, choose a destination, see a fare estimate, request a ride, and watch the assigned driver approach in real time.
3. Driver flow: go online or offline, receive ride requests with distance and payout, accept or decline, and navigate to the pickup using a maps deep link.
4. Real-time location tracking and dispatch with Google Maps SDK or Mapbox plus Firebase Realtime Database or Supabase Realtime (do not attempt to build custom GPS infrastructure).
5. Fare calculator: base fare plus per-mile and per-minute rates by vehicle class, with surge pricing rules you control.
6. Matching logic that scores nearby online drivers by distance, rating, and acceptance history.
7. Payments through Stripe: card on file, automatic driver payouts, itemized trip receipts, and cancellation fee rules.
8. Trip states both sides can watch: requested, accepted, arriving, in progress, and completed.
9. Two-way ratings with a blocklist and an automatic review queue for low scores.
10. AI support assistant that answers where-is-my-driver and refund questions from live trip data, escalating edge cases to a human queue.
11. Safety features: share trip status link, emergency call button, and a stored route metadata log per trip.
12. Driver earnings screen with daily and weekly totals and a payout history.
13. Admin dashboard: live map of all trips, driver onboarding with document checks, payout reports, and the support queue.
