Data and payments
Data and backend
Photos go to a storage bucket the assistant creates; an Edge Function sends them to the image model, holding its key as a secret, and a credits table records each spend.
Payments and store rules
Credit packs and Pro unlock digital features, so both sell through store purchases, set up on Google Play and in RevenueCat; AI calls cost you per image.
A first prompt to send
Send it as it is, or change the details to match your idea.
Build an AI headshot app: pick a style, upload a few selfies, check each photo before spending credits, get a set of portraits to compare with a before/after slider, and buy credit packs or a Pro plan. Call the image model from a Supabase Edge Function, never from the app.
Frequently asked questions
Which AI model edits the photos?
- Any image model your backend can call over HTTP. The Glimmer, Hearth and Verdant templates call Gemini from a Supabase Edge Function, billed by Google, separately from FluxNative credits.
Can the app refuse photos it should not edit?
- Yes. Glimmer asks for consent once and checks each photo before it spends credits, refusing minors, public figures and explicit photos.
Can I sell credits instead of a subscription?
- Yes. Credit packs are consumable in-app purchases; Glimmer sells packs and a weekly or yearly Pro through RevenueCat, with a credits ledger in Postgres that refunds a failed image.
Which app will you launch first?
Start with a prompt, images, or Figma. No credit card required.
