iOS referral platform

Refaro | Referral hub for real-world offers

Refaro shows how Idea as Code can turn a fuzzy referral-marketplace idea into a live mobile product with customer QR passes, merchant onboarding, business deal controls, Supabase-backed data, Vercel APIs, and App Store release operations.

Experience design

The product qualities we wanted this project to express.

A simple customer flow: find an offer, claim it, then show one QR pass at checkout

A focused merchant flow: sign in, connect a business, create a deal, and scan customers

Clear offer states so saved, claimed, ready-to-scan, and used rewards are understandable
