Building 1111: what's under the hood 🖤
1111 isn't a mockup. It's a full staffing platform for talent and enterprises in France and Morocco, and I designed and engineered it from the ground up.
Creative design ✦ A Premium Monochrome design system, pure black and white, with editorial serif and sans type that lets the talent's work stand out ✦ Layouts built for both platforms: a phone layout with bottom navigation on mobile, and a wider canvas with a sidebar on desktop ✦ Trilingual from day one in French, English and Arabic, with full right-to-left (RTL) support for Arabic ✦ Instagram-style Stories with talent-controlled 24, 48 or 72-hour expiry, gallery framing, and fashion-grade measurement filters
Deep system infrastructure ✦ Next.js frontend on Firebase Hosting, installable as a PWA (web app) and shipped to iOS and Android with Capacitor ✦ Firebase Auth (email and Google), a Firestore database, and Storage, all locked down by detailed security rules ✦ Cloud Functions API handling Stripe checkout, webhook-confirmed bookings, wallet crediting, and bank (RIB) withdrawals ✦ Advanced search with smart query parsing and history, plus job and mission posting for companies ✦ Automated tests for security rules and end-to-end flows using Vitest
Every booking, payment and message runs on infrastructure built to scale with production studios, agencies and brands.
