Overview

A Persian business directory and community marketplace: find local businesses, book a visit, chat, and follow concerts and events.

JaFinder helps Persian-speaking communities find businesses and services near them, from restaurants to Farsi-speaking doctors and immigration lawyers, and follow concerts and community events. Visitors can search across countries, regions, and cities, save favorites, chat with businesses, and book visits.

Business owners can list and promote their business directly. The platform's location model supports multiple countries, currencies, units, languages, and time zones, so listings can live anywhere.

Case study

Find → Chat → Book → Review

JaFinder is designed around two loops: finding and booking a local business, and discovering, posting, and connecting within the community. Real-time messaging runs over Socket.IO with rotating JWT sessions and role-based access control.

Built to go global

Listings carry their own country, region, currency, units, language, and IANA time zone. Images are validated and re-encoded before storage, and search uses MongoDB geospatial indexes.
