Metaprona: real-estate marketplace + iOS app

The problem

Albania's property market ran on Facebook groups and agency sites with no real search, no price history and no way for a buyer to be told when the right home appeared. The same listing showed up on three portals with three prices and went stale within weeks.

What I built

A full marketplace at metaprona.com in Albanian and English, with its own iOS app on the App Store.
Automated ingestion from multiple portals with deduplication, price normalisation and location enrichment, so the site holds 65,000+ live listings without manual data entry
AI search where a buyer describes the home in plain words and gets matching listings, next to classic filters and a map view
Buyer alerts by email when a matching property appears, and free listing for owners and agencies
Programmatic SEO with a page per city, zone and property type, structured data, sitemaps, IndexNow and AI-assistant discoverability (llms.txt)
Native iOS app in React Native / Expo, taken through App Store review via the store APIs, sharing the same listing pipeline
Admin and moderation panel, agency pages, and an Instagram content pipeline feeding a 25,000-follower audience

Stack

Next.js, TypeScript, Postgres on Neon, Vercel, Expo and EAS, Cloudinary, OpenAI and Anthropic APIs for search and ingestion, scheduled crawlers with per-source compliance rules.

Outcome

65,000+ active listings across 43 cities, a native iOS app, and a daily pipeline that runs with no one touching it. Live at https://metaprona.com and on the App Store.

What this looks like for your project

Scope doc with acceptance criteria first, a staging link within the first week, then the full platform with admin, SEO and the mobile app, handed over as code in your repository with a runbook.
