Career Crossroads, Looking for Expert Advice
Hi, I’m Muhammad Zain Ul Hassan, having 2 years of Flutter Experience.
At the moment, I don’t have an active client project. Instead of waiting, I decided to invest this time in learning a new skill.
And this is where I want your honest advice.
The 4 Paths I’m Seriously Considering (and why):
1) Web Development (React for Web)
Learning React for web could help me cover full product delivery alongside Flutter mobile apps.
2) React Native (alongside Flutter)
React Native align with my app development skill.
3) Backend Development (Node.js / Express / Python)
(Though my current partner already specializes in backend).
4) Blockchain Development
I already have basic exposure through Flutter + Solidity.
If you were in my position, which would you choose and why?

Payment Lifecycle Integration Backend
This project focuses on a backend problem I care about a lot:
how to keep an internal payment workflow correct when the external provider is asynchronous and outside your control.
The system models:
· explicit payment state transitions
· idempotent create requests
· webhook-driven updates
· audit logs
· reconciliation for recovery

Interesting project. Payment workflows can get tricky, so this is a cool problem to tackle.
Just completed another MVP UI for a banking app, let me know what you guys think about it.
Looks clean. I like the balance card and the weekly spending chart — the UI feels really smooth for a banking app.
