Our current application is a platform that allows authors to sell access to their content through one time payments or subscriptions, and for users to read free and purchased material.

Our mobile application is written in Flutter using the Dart programming language.

Our backend server is built with FastAPI using the Python programming language.

Our database is powered by PostgreSQL.

Users have requested the functionality to integrate directly with Patreon, a membership platform that provides business tools for content creators to run a subscription service. To address this, we would like to integrate our existing application with the Patreon API.

We would like students to focus on:

• Creating a standalone application or integrated component of our existing platform that interacts with Patreon, specifically authentication into Patreon using their OAuth system, keeping track of creators' memberships using the API and webhook events, and re-uploading content by posting to Patreon through the API.

The final deliverables should take the form of a final report and presentation including:

• Documentation around models and attributes used to model any data.
• A brief wireframe or mock-up of the resulting system’s user interface.
• A product feature map detailing all possible interactions with the system and explaining design choices.
• The source code for the system, preferably in a source control system such as Git.

Students will communicate directly with the founders for mentorship and planning purposes during the duration of the project, available daily through our Discord server.

We will help students familiarize themselves with our existing application, and go over key concepts required for the success of the project, including but not limited to: OAuth flows, REST API design, database design, and system architecture design.
