Hotlyne

Summary

Hotlyne is a client communication tool I created for independent home service pros: house cleaners, nannies, pet sitters, and short-term rental turnovers. Each job gets a shareable timeline. Mark a step complete, attach photos and notes as you go, and the client follows along from their phone without an account. It replaces the mid-job check-in texts that interrupt the work.

Technical Details

Hotlyne features a realtime frontend built with React and Tailwind, pub/sub system in MeteorJS, Web Push notifications, payments via Dodo, and job photos stored on Cloudflare R2. The marketing side, including industry landing pages, rate calculators, and a blog, is server-side rendered for SEO.
