Devlog #2 — MegiLance: Final Build Log 🚀
Okay so… final devlog time.
MegiLance is something I actually built fully by myself — the idea, the design, the backend, the frontend, all of it. And I’m honestly proud of where it reached.
Since my last update, here’s what I shipped:

✨ finished the AI‑based freelancer ranking
🔐 added the full escrow flow for safer payments
💬 built real‑time chat + set up video call support
💸 added multi‑currency + crypto payments
🎨 cleaned up the dashboards and project pages
🔗 connected everything together (Next.js ↔ FastAPI ↔ Turso)

Most of this was me jumping between screens, APIs, and bugs at 3AM — but it was fun in a chaotic Hack Club way. I learned a lot, fixed a lot, broke a lot, and built something that actually works.
MegiLance started as “what if freelancing wasn’t messy?”
Now it’s a working prototype because I sat down and made it myself.
Submitting it here, but not stopping here. 🚀

Devlog #1 – MegiLance 2.0 🚀

17 hours. Straight up. And my brain is buzzing ⚡💻

I started MegiLance 2.0 because I was tired of the usual freelancing chaos — slow payments, sketchy rankings, and no real way to know if a project or a freelancer is legit. I wanted something smart, fair, and fun to use. Something I’d actually want to use myself.

In these first 17 hours, here’s what I did:

Set up frontend + backend (Next.js + FastAPI) and got the basic flow running

Built the Turso database skeleton for users, projects, and payments

Started laying the AI foundation for freelancer ranking 🤖

Hooked up multi-currency + crypto payment system 💰

Designed the first UI components and dashboards 🎨

It’s raw. It’s messy. But it’s alive. Every table, every screen, every API is a piece of something big.

Honestly, this is what building feels like: long hours, tiny wins, big vision. You look at a blank screen, and 17 hours later, you’ve got a skeleton that could actually work in the real world. 🌱

Next up: AI ranking, video calls, smart contract escrow. And I can’t wait to see it all come together 🚀
