Virtual Boyfriend Platform Development

I’m building an online “rental boyfriend” service that exists entirely in the digital space. The goal is to let customers book virtual time with a companion and enjoy three core experiences once the booking starts:

• live video calls powered by WebRTC or a comparable real-time engine
• in-platform text chat that stays archived for each session
• lightweight interactive games the pair can launch without leaving the call

User discovery should feel familiar—visitors scroll through cards that show a profile picture, click one they like, and land on a more detailed availability page. For now, a photo is the only mandatory profile element, but the codebase should keep room for optional bios or interest tags so we can activate those later without refactoring.

Key flows I need you to cover:
• secure sign-up / social log-in for both customers and companions
• calendar-based scheduling with automated time-zone handling
• integrated payments (Stripe preferred) with hold-and-release logic for completed sessions
• countdown timer inside the session window so everyone knows how much time is left
• post-call rating & review that feeds an admin-visible reputation score
• admin dashboard to approve new companions, monitor live traffic, and export earnings reports

Tech is flexible, though React + Node + socket.io/WebRTC feels appropriate; if you have a stronger stack in mind, let me know why it serves real-time media better. Please outline:

1. the milestones you envision (MVP, closed beta, public launch)
2. any third-party APIs or SaaS you’d rely on
3. how you’ll address privacy, especially around stored video/chat logs

Final hand-off must include source code in a private Git repo, deployment scripts (Docker or CI/CD), and a brief walkthrough video. If that matches your skill set, tell me how long the MVP will take and share a similar real-time project you’ve shipped.
