Hamed

As a freelance developer, I was constantly bombarded with messages like:

“Where are we at?” “Can you give me an update?” “Is the project still on track?”

It didn’t matter how much work I had done — if the client couldn’t see it, it didn’t exist. That frustration was mutual. Clients felt lost, and I looked unprofessional despite doing everything right.

That’s where the idea of Prestatrack was born:

A delivery-style project tracker that shows progress in real time — like tracking a package, but for client work.

🧠 What it does Prestatrack is a SaaS platform that allows freelancers and studios to create a public tracking page for each project, with:

A clean timeline view showing live progress on key milestones

File uploads and version history

Validation buttons for client approvals

Auto-notifications via email or SMS

A mobile-friendly client interface that feels like Uber Eats or Colissimo

In short:

Prestatrack turns vague client relations into structured, confident collaborations.

🔧 How we built it Frontend: React + TailwindCSS

Backend: Supabase (PostgreSQL + Auth + File storage)

Auth: Supabase Magic Link & Role-based access

Email/SMS: Postmark + optional Twilio

Hosting: Vercel for frontend, Supabase for backend

Design: Figma (mobile-first + UX tested with real clients)

Built with Botly for rapid prototyping of core features

🧱 Challenges we ran into Designing an interface that both devs and non-tech clients could understand instantly

Balancing simplicity with flexibility — too many features kill the experience

Handling file upload + validation flow in a way that feels smooth for both parties

Ensuring real-time updates without bloating the stack or UI

🏆 Accomplishments we’re proud of Over 640 freelancers onboarded during closed beta

4.9/5 average user satisfaction

Projects managed with zero client follow-ups needed

Freelancers reporting “more peace of mind and fewer WhatsApp pings at 23h”

📚 What we learned Clients don’t want complex dashboards — they want reassurance and visibility

Freelancers feel 10× more confident when the communication looks professional

The sweet spot is not building “the most powerful tool” — it’s building the least painful one

🔮 What's next for Hamed Launching Prestatrack publicly with full self-service onboarding

Introducing shared team dashboards and white-label client portals

Scaling to agencies and service-based startups

Adding integrations with Notion, Trello, GitHub

Long term: Build a suite of tools under the Prestatrack brand for service providers
