๐Ÿš€ RateMyRig โ€” The Ultimate Gamified Social Platform for PC Builders

RateMyRig is a complete, ready-to-launch full-stack web application (with mobile APK support) built specifically for the PC building and gaming community. It combines the visual inspiration of Instagram, the community aspect of Reddit, and the premium customization of Discord Nitro into one powerful platform.

I built this as a solo developer, but due to time constraints and moving on to new projects, I am selling the complete source code and business model. This is not just a codebase; it is a turnkey business opportunity.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Core Features & User Experience:

  • Social Setup Feed: Users can upload high-resolution photos of their PC/Desk setups, list their exact hardware components (CPU, GPU, RAM, etc.) with prices, and link directly to purchase pages.
  • Engagement Engine: Real-time Upvotes, Likes, threaded Comments, Bookmarks, Following system, and Direct Messaging (DMs).
  • 1v1 Battle Arena: A highly engaging feature where users stake 150 Coins to challenge another builder's setup. The community votes over 24 hours. The winner takes the pool and a 1-Week PRO Membership.
  • Viral Mini-Games:
  • Swipe Game: Tinder-style rating for setups (earn coins).
  • Guess the Rig Price: Daily mini-game where users guess the total build cost to earn coins.
  • Premium Customization (Discord-Nitro Style): Users can equip animated GIF avatars, glowing Avatar Frames (with 300+ built-in library items), moving gradient Nameplates, Profile Effects, and Custom Badges.
  • Instant Story Generator: A built-in HTML5 canvas tool that lets users export 9:16 vertical story cards (for Instagram/WhatsApp) to show off their setup (Free viral marketing).

๐Ÿ’ฐ Built-in Monetization (How it makes money):

  • PRO Subscriptions: Integrated with Lemon Squeezy for recurring monthly revenue.
  • Coin Economy: Users buy coin packs to Boost their setups to the top of the feed or challenge others to Battles. (Strict economy prevents inflation).
  • Auto-Affiliate Engine: Automatically appends your Amazon/Retail affiliate tags to hardware links. When users click and buy, you earn passive commission.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Powerful Admin Panel (Fully Responsive):

  • User Management: Search users, grant/deduct coins, toggle PRO/Verified status, ban users, and view user stats.
  • Shop Manager: Create custom Avatar Frames, Nameplates, and Profile Effects. Includes a "Browse Library" picker for 300+ animated frames.
  • Payment & Demo Controls: Toggle "Email Verification" ON/OFF for demo purposes. Toggle Lemon Squeezy payments ON/OFF. Manage dynamic Coin Packs and Variant IDs.
  • Platform Settings: Global Announcements, Waitlist Mode, and Featured Setup pinning.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Tech Stack:

  • Frontend: React 19, Vite, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Framer Motion (for smooth animations).
  • Backend/Database: Firebase (Authentication, Firestore for real-time data).
  • Media Storage: Cloudinary (Optimized image and GIF uploads).
  • Payments: Lemon Squeezy (Webhooks, Checkout).
  • Mobile Wrapper: Capacitor (Pre-configured for Android APK generation).

๐Ÿ“ฆ What the Buyer Gets:

  • Full, clean source code (Web + Capacitor Mobile Setup).
  • Clean Firestore database structure.
  • Complete Documentation (README) on how to set up Firebase, Cloudinary, and Lemon Squeezy.
  • Free assistance from me to help you set up the environment.

๐ŸŽฎ Live Interactive Demo:

Want to explore the app before buying? I have set up a Demo Admin account so you can test the frontend and Admin Panel.

โš ๏ธ IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR BUYER (API Keys & Credentials):

All third-party API keys, Firebase credentials, Cloudinary presets, and Lemon Squeezy store secrets are NOT included in the sale. You must create and configure your own accounts using the provided guide. This ensures 100% ownership, data privacy, and security for your business.

I am open to serious offers. If you have a PC-building audience or a gaming brand, this platform is a goldmine.

seems niche. hard to see market fit with established platforms. pricing looks critical for growth.
