A booking platform is more than a calendar.
I worked on Duna, a Pilates scheduling platform with an integrated payment gateway.
What interests me about projects like this is the connection between the software and the actual business workflow: how people book, how payments fit into that process, and how the experience works for both customers and the team.
It’s the kind of development I enjoy—turning an operational need into a usable web product.
I’m open to projects involving booking systems, API integrations, and custom business applications.
The tricky part is keeping a class spot reserved while payment is still pending, then releasing it cleanly if checkout expires. Did you use a temporary booking hold for that?
Not quite—the user pays for a package of classes rather than each class individually, so checkout is for purchasing the package, not reserving a specific class spot. That makes the booking flow separate from the payment flow.
Thanks Mateo, that clears it up. So the package credit is used when a class is booked, not when it is paid for. Do you take the credit at booking time, or when the class actually happens?
We deduct the credit at booking time, but if the class is canceled, we return it to the user’s package balance so they can use it for another class.

Two ways to redesign the same living room. Which editor would you use?

Rotate the room, swap the sofa, try a finish and save your design. I built both in Flutter, and I’m sharing both versions and the 3D assets for free:

Material Studio. The light interface lets the room be the hero, while the dark one makes the controls compete with it. Really generous of you to share the 3D assets too. Thank you.
