I spent two years on this with a small team: two engineers and one designer who also built the frontend. I led architecture and product as well as writing code, and talked to about twenty customers a week. What they told me became the roadmap.
There are three pieces. A marketing site at moneyfest.finance, a web app at app.moneyfest.finance, and a native Android app built with Capacitor. M-Pesa, escrow, subscriptions and merchant tools all run on a NestJS and Postgres backend, tested with Jest, Vitest and Cypress.
