Is there an upcoming update?
Yes. I just published a new update. Please check the description to see the new functionalities.
Hello sir, I can’t find the link to try the admin panel and I want to know if I can install shared server
Hello,
You can test the admin panel here: https://server.biddo.info/admin/login
Username: test@biddo.com Pass: password
Take into account that these credentials are only for readonly, so you will not be able to create, update or delete any data. You will also not be able to see some sensitive data.
I do not recommend to publish the server on a shared hosting. I recommend having a vps. In theory, it could be published to any machine that supports NodeJs.
If you have any other questions, you can come back with a message anytime.
how to fix this issue
Hello,
Unfortunately it’s pretty hard to figure out a solution only from this screenshot. Can you come back with an email at pascaionut94@gmail.com and provide details for the following questions:
1. Did you follow all the instructions from the documentation? The problem I see in the image might be related to the firebase integration. Did you follow the steps related to Firebase, both on server and on the web app?
2. I suppose you ran the app using a terminal. Can you give me a complete copy from the terminal logs? Both from server and the web app.
3. Did you manage to run the app on your local machine? I’m talking about both the server and the client app.
These features are exciting, the project is definitely going great
- “verified” badge to users
- auction history (the owner of the auction will see if someone else interacted with the auction and in what way”
- improve the maps functionality (the one in which you can see all the auctions on a map), and display them in clusters
- possibility to add a youtube video when creating an auction
Maybe some others: – send location inside the chat
- show inside the chat the auction from which it was initiated
- see auctions in a range radius
Thank you!
It would be great if you could also add a selectable currency symbol.
This will not be implemented in the next release unfortunately
Hi! Have a small request – Can you change the nomenclature of “coins” to “credits”?
Hello,
I see that you have purchased the product.
In the documentation, there is described the place in which all the translation files are located inside the product. I think you can just replace every occurrence of the word “coins” to “credits” and you should have what you want.
If you are having a hard time to find it, please send me a direct message and I will do my best to hep you.
Thanks, Is that translation feature the same for the words on the mobile app as well as the web app or do we have to do this twice?
You will need to update the translation files to both the mobile app and the web application.
Let me know if you need further assistance.
Sure. Thanks a lot. BTW, when is the next update expected tentatively? And what can we look forward to in the next update?
I don’t have a time estimate on when the next update is going to be, but I have some things already in my pipeline:
- “verified” badge to users
- auction history (the owner of the auction will see if someone else interacted with the auction and in what way”
- improve the maps functionality (the one in which you can see all the auctions on a map), and display them in clusters
- possibility to add a youtube video when creating an auction
Maybe some others: - send location inside the chat
- show inside the chat the auction from which it was initiated
- see auctions in a range radius
If you have any other proposals, feel free to come back with a message and I’ll try to add them to the list.
P.S: If you managed to run the application and you are happy with what it provides, please also leave a review, as It’s quite a motivation for me.
This sounds interesting. It would be great even if you give me a tentative timeline…as that would help me decide if I should upload the app onto the stores now or wait for the next update as every update cycle will take time. Pls advise a tentative timeline..I promise I will not hold you to it 
Well, in my personal experience, if you want to publish the app on the stores, you can start now. Usually, the first review they need to make on both AppStore and Google Play Store takes a lot of time. On app updates, my apps were reviewed in 1-3 days (usually).
Will try to publish the next release in aproximately 2 weeks. Might be sooner than that, but I do not want to promise something that I’m not able to deliver.
Sure..that visibility is super helpful. Thanks.
Anytime with pleasure.
Would the “share product link” option be available in the mobile app in the next version?
I’m not sure yet, unfortunately
Hey bro..Since we are closer to the next update cycle, just wanted to check if the “share product link” option would be available in the next update?
Hello. Unfortunately, on the mobile app, the share functionality will not be added in the next release. It only exists on the web version.
Oh! Understood. How close are we to the next update?
I will try to do a release today or in the following week…
Super!
Hi! Pasca,
Can you pls share where exactly can we change these words (coins to credits) and change the logo/branding and colors?
Hello,
Inside the web application (nextjs), the translation files can be found in the following path:
- src/app/i18n/locales
Inside the mobile app, the translation files can be found in the following path:
- lib/lang
There is a translation file for each available language inside the app, so, if you want your change to be done in each language, you will have to change the file corresponding to every language.
Thanks, Pasca. Can you also pls share the folders/place where exactly we can change the color schema and the logos for both mobile App and web app.
Also, the default country code is mentioned as +40…where can we change this?
To update the web application colors, you will need to open biddo_web/src/app/css/globals.css. Inside this file, you will find all the colors used inside the app, for both dark and light themes.
The logo from the web application is found in public/assets/logo.png. If you change this file (but make sure you keep the same name), the logo of your app should change as well.
For the mobile app, to change the name and splash screen there is a documentation link: https://www.biddo.info/docs/mobile-app/name-version-splash
The logo on the mobile app can be found at assets/icons/svg/logo.svg.
The color scheme on the mobile app can be found at lib/theme.colors.dart. Here, you will find the colors for both the dark and light theme.
In order to change the default phone number input country on the web app, you will need to go to src/app/[lang]/auth/phone-login/number-form.tsx. Here, search for the “defaultCountry” keyword. I will try to add this to admin panel, so it’s easier.
Could you please check the system from top to bottom, try to complete the deficiencies, improve the management panel and what is still missing in the system, what is your update roadmap, biddo, we want to proceed with confidence in the project to be good.
Hello,
I’m not really sure what you mean with “deficiencies”. Can you provide a list of possible improvements here and I will do my best to implement them. Again, I cannot give you a time estimate for how long any implementation it is going to take.
What kind of changes are there in the next update roadmap? Best regards.
For the next update, only small improvements are in pipeline.
As I mentioned above, if you have some specific improvements in mind, please note them here and I’ll see if they can be implemented.
I do not have a time estimate on when the next update will be published.
if any looking good suitable domain for this app i have a2zbid.com , a2zbid.in contact me if want anyone i will sell it!! support@wereskin.com
Sorry, but I am not interested
this updated complete source web and app ? or you have in profile we and app separate link that updated one? please tell which one is updated source ?
This is the source code for the flutter app, the nextjs (web) app and the server.
If you are interested only in the mobile version or only in the web version, you can find different products on my profile.
The source code is up to date to each of them.
In the application, the modal application looks very awkward like popups, it would be great if you prefer a more modern option like this https://pub.dev/packages/wolt_modal_sheet
Yes, i already have in mind to change the modal you are referring to. Will probably be changed in the next version.
Can you develop it just like OLX or gumtree classified app that lets user sell everything instead of bitting?
Hello,
I might add an config variable in the future which will allow switching between auction mode or simple posts mode, but I cannot give you a time estimate on how long it is going to take.
If I get more requests like this, I will add a higher priority to it.
If you have other questions or proposals, feel free to come back with a message and I will do my best to help you.
I think it’s will be good and can increase your Sale. I want classified app not action app
I understand your requirement and I will try to implement it, but again, I cannot give you a time estimate on how long this is going to take.
Any update of this classified features on this app?
Hello,
I have another product, Bazaryo, on my profile. I think it is the exact thing you mentioned in the previous comments.
Please check it out and let me know what you think.
This kind and polite developer makes me feel glad that I chose them for the project. They personally handle technical issues and provide premium support, paying attention to every detail. I truly believe they will develop the project with utmost seriousness. I sincerely thank them again!
Thank you for your nice feedback!
can we use web only module for a start ? or can it be used on shared hosting ?
Both the mobile app and the web app need the NodeJS server in order to work. Theoretically, the NodeJS server can be deployed on a shared hosting server, but unfortunately I do not have inside the documentation steps to follow in order to do that. I recommend a VPS server in order the publish it.
If you have any other questions, feel free to come back with a message and I will do my best to help you.
Are you considering a Dynamic QR Code feature for your profile?
Yes, this is a good idea for a future release.
i trying run npm run dev i gives error original: error: relation “auctions” does not exist tables are not create
Hello,
I suppose you’re referring to the server and you are trying to run it without Docker.
Can you please come back with more details at: pascaionut94@gmail.com
Did you add all the necessary credendials to the ”.env” file?
If you want to run the server without Docker, make sure you have a PostgreSQL database running and you added all the required connection data in the ”.env” file.
Please come back with an email, where you specify exactly what steps you followed and make a screenshot of the entire error.
I will do my best in order to fix the issue for you.
First of all, I would like to say that I am amazed by the project. The development of such a project excites me even more. What is the content of your upcoming update? Best regards.
Hello,
Thank you very much for this nice feedback. It means a lot.
For the next release, I’m planning to add some small features, like:
- possibility to set the starting and ending date of an auction
- possibility to search auctions based on location ranges (auctions near you)
- possibility to attach files inside the chat
- possibility to use amazon s3 as storage, besides the google cloud which is currently used
In the future, I might also add some sort of “live auctions”, but I do not have yet a defined flow on how these would work.
If you have any other proposals, feel free to come back anytime and I will do my best to implement them if possible. I do not want to increase the price of the product, only if I add really big additional features.
These upcoming features excite me even more:
Live Bidding is an amazing concept! I noticed a few shortcomings:
Share Buttons for Listings are missing in the application. Can subcategories be added without limits? What is the maximum number of subcategories? Google Pay and App Pay Payment Gateways would be great. S3 Storage is essential. In the user chat section, online/offline status and predefined messages could be considered. This isn’t crucial but might be worth thinking about. Listing display boxes in the application are disorganized; they should align with the web version. The app should support other currency symbols for users. The app should detect the phone’s language at startup or offer a language selection option initially. Addressing the project’s shortcomings as a priority would be ideal.
Additionally, providing real-time chat support (via Telegram, Skype, WhatsApp) for technical issues would allow for faster solutions for your customers.
Best regards, and much respect. I am following all your work and wish you a great day!
Share auction functionality is available on the web version and I will make it available on the mobile version in the next release.
I don’t actually follow the subcategories question. Yes, there can be any number of subcategories, but these are added by the admin of the app.
Payments are already implemented, both in the mobile app (using RevenueCat) and the web app (using Stripe). Inside the mobile app APK given for testing the payments are not working becase I did not add the RevenueCat credentials (for my own security). Just to make it clear, the users can only purchase coins inside the app and they do not pay for the actual auction.
Listing display will be fixed on the mobile app in the next release as well.
The app already supports other currency symbols. Right now, the admin of the app is setting the currency of the entire app from the admin panel. I might think in the future of a way to have a conversion rate between users, so that any user can have a different currency.
Offline/online status will also come in the next version. Predefined messages are also a nice idea. Translation of the messages and the auction details will also come in the next version (this is an extra feature I never mentioned).
At least for now, I will not offer real-time chat support. I’m developing Biddo in my spare time and I cannot take this responsability seriously. Whenever this window is opened, users will expect support ASAP, which I cannot say I can always grant. As you notice, I answer quite fast to requests and I think this is enough for now.
Thank you again for your feedback and ideas.
Have a nice day!
Sorry, I was mistaken before. Sharing functionality will not be available in the next release for the mobile app, as it needs dynamic deep linking and will require a more complex setup from the admin of the app. This is a bit harder to manage if your are not a technical person.
Will the user not be able to provide a product link from the application?
It is already implemented in the web app. It won’t come in the next release in the mobile app, only in the one after that
Hello, can I learn your roadmap before purchasing it? Will it include features such as S3 storage and SEO location range in km?
Will there be a currency based on the region?
Hello,
Thank you for your interest in the product.
In the next release, I will add the possibility to set starting time and ending time for an auction. This will open up a new section, of “starting soon”. Whoever will add an auction of this type to favourites will get a notification when the auction actually starts.
I will also add the possibility to attach files inside the chat window.
I will also add a range search functionality. The users will be able to search auctions that are nearby, or in a custom range.
S3 storage can be added as well, but I cannot give you an estimate of how long it is going to take for it to be implemented. Currently, google bucket is used.
Not sure yet if I will add currency based on the region. Another option would be for each individual user to have a currency selector, but this would need other implementations for the application to have a nice UX for all the users.
If you have any other questions, feel free to come back anytime and I will do my best to help you.
Good day, can you add web3 wallets, I want to buy
Hello,
Can you give me some more details? How do you see web3 wallets work in this app?
crypto payment
Crypto payments are not in the immediate roadmap. If there are more requests for such a feature, I will consider it, but it will probably increase the current price.
If you have other proposals, feel free to come back with a message and I will try to help you.
where is Change Log?
The latest update include both LTR and RTL layout support. Arabic language was added for both the mobile app and the web app.
A few mingor bug fixes were added as well.
I will make sure to add update log in the product description on the next release.
If you have any other questions, feel free to come back any time and I will do my best to help you.
Hello, Pre-purchase questions:
1. Does the product include just the web version or the apps as well?
2. Is it a full working script like the demo?
3. I noticed when creating an auction there is No start and End date for the auction
4. Can we add Username, City name and sms registration when creating a new account? This will avoid always giving city name when making a bid and user will have username instead of showing the email address name.
5. Do you offer installation service?
6. Is there an admin backend? if yes what is the credential?
Thank you!
Hello,
Sorry for the late reply.
1. The product includes a NextJS app (web), a flutter app (mobile) and a NodeJS server that is used by both the web app and the mobile one
2. Yes, it is a full working application. What you see in the demo, should be what you get
3. There is not a start date, because the auction is automatically starting when it is created. The admin of the app can set how many hours an auction stays opened. This behaviour can be changed or made more customizable, if required.
4. The login and registration forms usually need to be as simple as possible. I did not add a username to these forms, because once the user is logged in, it can change the actual name from the profile screen. There is also a location permission request to the user, so if this permission is accepted, the user will no longer need to add its location, as it is done automatically. Will think about SMS registration as well. Are you thinking about just validating a specific user using an SMS code, or about actually creating a new account only by using the SMS functionality?
5. Unfortunately I do not offer installation service. For this purpose, I added quite detailed documentation about how to run the project here: https://www.biddo.info/docs
6. Yes, the server comes with an admin panel as well. You can test it our here: https://server.biddo.info/admin/login
Username: test@biddo.com Pass: password
Take into account that these credentials are only for readonly, so you will not be able to create, update or delete any data. You will also not be able to see some sensitive data.
If you have any other questions, feel free to come back with a message and I will do my best to help you.
Hello,
Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately i’m not a tech guy and needed the installation of at least the web app and backend. I don’t need the mobile apps installed for now. Would it be possible for you to install only the website app and backend or not? Thank you
I’m sorry to hear that.
I do not offer installation support for multiple reasone:
- I do not want to have access to peoples server and databases
- I’m constantly improvig the app, with either new functionalities or bug fixes. This would mean that every time I push a new version, I would need to offer support for updating the app for all the clients I eventually helped set up the project. This is a responsability I cannot take, because I’m developing Biddo in my spare time. I’ll rather not offer support from the start then letting people down on the road…
I sincerely hope you understand.
I will think of a way in which I could host different instances of the app myself and for every one interested in this, to offer this kind of support, but it will obviously come with some extra costs.
Google map is not working in android app.
If you tested the provided APK, it is normal for the maps not to work. I did not add a Google Maps API key, because it can be intercepted.
If you want to see how the maps are working, you can see it in the video I provided.
A similar behaviour is working in the web application, where it is working by default. You can check it out here: https://web.biddo.info/auctions/map
Creating a bid, user cannot set date when auction ends (It’s always 95 hours!). Will it be possible in future updates? And where is the link to check admin dashboard?
Yes, by default, the auction is active for 96 hours. The admin of the app currently has the possibility to set how many hours an auction is active.
I will add the possibility for the user to set an ending date to the auction, but I cannot give you an estimate on how long this is going to take.
You can test the admin panel here: https://server.biddo.info/admin/login
Username: test@biddo.com Pass: password
Take into account that these credentials are only for readonly, so you will not be able to create, update or delete any data. You will also not be able to see some sensitive data.
Change Log?
The latest update include both LTR and RTL layout support. Arabic language was added for both the mobile app and the web app.

If you have any other questions, feel free to come back any time and I will do my best to help you.
Please add following features in the next update:
- Radius Search - Save/Change User’s location in User’s profile - Buy Now - Set auction starting and ending date
Hello,
Yes, I plan to add these features inside both the mobile and the web app, but I cannot give you an estimate on how long it is going to take to implement them.
If you have any other proposals or questions, please come back with a message anytime.
Update apk please. Android app is not working.
Hello,
The latest APK you can use is this one: https://cdn.tanna.app/biddo/app-release-v0.9.apk
Please let me know if it works for you.
How much you charge for replacing the theme with a new one?
It really depends what you understand by “changing the theme”.
If you only want to change the colors, they are found in one single file. I think it’s pretty trivial to change them.
What changes do you want exactly?
i am asking about changing the entire theme; i mean UI/UX
In this case, I have to say that I cannot help you, at least in the next period. I’m implmeneting Biddo in my spare time and it’s going to take a lot of time for me to re-build the entire UI/UX.
