Hey everyone, I’m working on a concept for a mobile app and would love some feedback on the architecture side.

The idea is a simple system where users upload a photo, and the app automatically generates a 5–10 second short video using pre-built templates (zoom effects, light transitions, particle effects, music-synced animations, etc.). It’s not a video editor just input image → select template → generate video output, similar to CapCut-style templates.

I’m planning to use Flutter for the mobile app, but I’m trying to understand the right backend/rendering approach for this kind of system. Especially how template-based video generation is typically handled in production systems.

Any insights on architecture or tech stack choices would be appreciated.

Hey everyone, I have an app idea and I’m trying to figure out the right tech stack. The app will let users upload a photo and automatically generate 5–10 second short videos using ready-made templates (like zoom effects, light transitions, particle effects, music-synced animations, etc.). It won’t be a video editor—just photo → template → generated video, similar to CapCut templates.

I’m considering using Flutter for the frontend. My question is: is Flutter enough for this kind of app, or do I need a backend system with something like FFmpeg for video rendering and template processing?

Hello everyone, I’m a frontend developer, mostly working on the mobile side. I don’t have much experience with backend development yet. So far, I’ve mostly built small projects using ready-made Express + MongoDB boilerplates. The boilerplates I used had the classic JWT-based authentication system. When a user logged in, the backend returned an access token, and then middleware was used to verify the token and handle role-based authorization (admin/user, etc.). I could more or less understand the logic because everything felt more “manual.”

Now I’m thinking about building a multi-tenant project. While researching, I noticed that many people recommend Better Auth, especially because it supposedly makes the organization/multi-tenant side easier. But I still can’t fully understand the logic behind it.

For example, how do you ensure that a user can only access data belonging to their own organization? What exactly is different compared to the classic Express JWT boilerplate approach?

When using Better Auth, is it still based on the access token / refresh token flow? Is using Better Auth actually necessary, and what practical benefits does it provide?

Sorry if I asked too many questions, but I’m still in the learning phase when it comes to backend development. Before starting the project, I just want to properly understand the architecture and concepts in my head. I’d really appreciate it if someone experienced could explain it in a beginner-friendly way, as if explaining it to someone completely new to backend development.

Hey everyone, I’m planning to start a limited company soon (the equivalent of an “Inc.” in Turkey). When creating corporate developer accounts for Apple and Google, I don’t want the developer name to appear as “X LTD.” or anything with that formal legal suffix. I’d prefer it to show only my brand name, like just “X”. Is there a way to hide the “LTD.” part or display only the brand name on the store pages (App Store / Google Play)? What should I pay attention to when setting up the company or creating these accounts? Do I need to register a trademark for this, or is having a company name enough? In short, I want to be a legal company in the background, but present only my brand name in the storefront. I’d really appreciate insights from anyone with experience on this.
