A state-of-the-art solution for booking and managing professional home care services.
NestCare bridges the gap between families and caregivers using AI-driven recommendations, real-time location tracking, and collaborative care timelines.
This project goes beyond standard e-commerce features to demonstrate advanced software engineering capabilities:
- Tech: OpenAI API, Prompt Engineering, JSON Mode.
- Function: A conversational wizard that analyzes user needs (patient age, condition, schedule) and recommends the exact best service package using LLM logic.
- Why it matters: Replaces static search with intelligent, context-aware decision support.
- Tech: Leaflet.js, React-Leaflet, Geospatial Data.
- Function: A real-time interactive map showing active caregivers in the vicinity. Features smooth "FlyTo" animations, auto-complete search for service areas (e.g., Banani, Gulshan), and glassmorphic UI overlays.
- Why it matters: Demonstrates mastery of interactive frontend libraries and geospatial visualization.
- Tech: MongoDB Aggregations, Complex Data Modeling.
- Function: A live activity feed where families and caregivers collaborate.
- Dual-Role Simulation: Toggle between "Family View" and "Caregiver View" to see real-time updates (e.g., "Medication Given," "Lunch Served").
- Why it matters: showcases ability to build complex, multi-user SaaS workflows with refined UX.
- Tech: Next.js Server Actions, Role-Based Access Control (RBAC).
- Function: A secure command center for administrators.
- Overview Stats: Real-time revenue and user growth charts.
- Booking Management: Verify or cancel bookings with one click.
- Service Inventory: Full CRUD system with meaningful pricing controls.
- User Authority: Promote users to Admin or Caregiver roles securely.
- Premium Service Discovery: Modern, card-based UI displaying service slugs, care types, and dynamic pricing (৳/hr or ৳/day).
- Smart Booking System: comprehensive form capturing duration, location, and contact details (Name, Email, Phone) with automatic cost estimation.
- Secure Authentication: NextAuth.js integration for secure Email/Password and Social Login.
- Responsive Design: Mobile-first architecture using Tailwind CSS v4 and DaisyUI.
- Framework: Next.js 16 (App Router & Server Actions)
- Styling: Tailwind CSS v4 & DaisyUI 5
- Animations: Framer Motion (Scroll reveal & micro-interactions)
- Maps: Leaflet & React-Leaflet
- Notifications: SweetAlert2
- Database: MongoDB (Native Driver for maximum control)
- AI Engine: OpenAI API (GPT-4o / GPT-3.5-turbo)
- Auth: NextAuth.js v4
