GitHub is hidden because the repository is not intended as a public portfolio link. Use the live demo and this case study instead.
Overview
Problem
SMEs need a practical way to find suppliers and start a conversation without jumping into a full transaction marketplace.
Solution
Chiboor is a supplier discovery directory: public search, supplier-facing listing management, authentication, and an admin surface for moderation. Branding is Chiboor even if internal folders still use an older codename.
Architecture
Next.js App Router frontend with TypeScript, Supabase authentication, and PostgreSQL-backed data. Public discovery, supplier portal foundations, and admin moderation are separated by role.
