Looking for a Founding Developer / Partner for Manāra – AI Interior Design App

Contract

I’m building Manāra, an AI-powered interior design copilot that helps users transform their spaces through a seamless journey in the UAE:


Profile setup → Project onboarding (photos, dimensions, AR scan) → AI moodboard → AI presentation → AUTOCAD → 3D renders → curated shop & installer list.


The app is currently prototyped on Lovable, but the vision is to develop a scalable, mobile-first solution (iOS → Android later) with a strong backend and AI integrations.


What We’re Building (Core Features – MVP)


  • User Accounts & Subscriptions (Apple/Google login, Stripe/Apple Pay integration).


  • Avatar & Project Creation (style quiz, lifestyle, property info).


  • AR/LiDAR Room Measurement Tool (e.g., Apple RoomPlan or similar).


  • AI Workflow:


  • Generate moodboards (AI image models).
  • Auto-create short presentations (AI text + slides).
  • Produce basic AUTOCAD 2D plans.
  • Generate 3D renders (cloud-based).
  • Curated shopping recommendations (local + global).
  • Results Dashboard (PDF/ZIP export, 2D/3D viewer).
  • Admin Dashboard (users, projects, subscriptions).


Who I’m Looking For


A full-stack developer (or small team) excited to be part of building a product from the ground up. Ideally, you have experience with some of these:


  • Mobile app development (SwiftUI, React Native, or Flutter).
  • Backend (Node.js/Python, Postgres, APIs).
  • AI/ML integrations (Stable Diffusion, embeddings, image generation).
  • 3D/web viewer experience (WebGL, glTF).
  • Payment systems (Stripe, IAP).


The Offer


I don’t have the same budget as large funded startups right now, but I’m offering something better: a chance to build this as a partner.

  • Equity / revenue share (10–15% depending on involvement).
  • Flexible: either reduce upfront fee in exchange for equity, or become a technical co-founder with long-term upside.
  • You’ll be joining at the earliest stage, real opportunity to shape product & tech decisions.


Why Join?


Interior design is a $100B+ global market. Competitors like Magicplan, Morpholio, and MyArchitectAI have proven demand. Manāra’s edge is combining AR measurement + AI moodboards + CAD/3D renders + local shopping/installer matching — all in one app.


If you’re passionate about AI, design tech, and want to co-create a product with huge potential, let’s connect.
