How I built a local business directory with Laravel 11 + Flutter PWA (and packaged it as a starter kit)

I've been building business directory apps for local clients and decided to document the architecture and package it as a reusable starter kit for other developers. The Stack Backend: Laravel 11 REST API Frontend: Flutter PWA + Android Maps: OpenStreetMap via flutter_map (no Google Maps API key needed) Database: MySQL with full-text search and Haversine geolocation How it works The API handles two types of users: admin and capturista (data entry operator). Capturistas capture business listings which go into a pending state. Admins review and approve or reject them before they appear publicly. Authentication uses custom tokens stored in a tokens_sesion table — no Sanctum overhead for a simple use
