Zubene — meaning "community" in Kurdish — is a social platform purpose-built for connecting people in Iraqi cities through shared interests and local events. Unlike global social networks that optimize for endless scrolling, Zubene is designed to move conversations offline and into real-world gatherings.

The Challenge
The goal was to create an all-in-one dropshipping platform that could handle bulk shipments as well as individual item orders seamlessly. Zubene needed a robust backend to support order management, real-time tracking, and smooth communication between the main app, the admin platform, and the driver app. Additionally, integration with multiple third-party APIs was crucial for managing various shipping options, product data, and order fulfillment.

We chose Flutter for rapid cross-platform development and Firebase for real-time data synchronization that keeps group chats and event updates instant. The Google Maps API integration provides hyperlocal event discovery with culturally relevant venue categorization. Privacy controls were designed with regional expectations in mind, offering granular visibility settings that go beyond typical Western social platforms.
