Orderly Move

Generic moving checklists tell you what to do but not when. The brief was a checklist with real dates: tell it your moving day, where you are going and who is coming, and every task lands on a day, counted back from the move. Small enough to pay for once, like a roll of tape.

The product has to be useful before anyone pays, without giving the whole thing away. The server only ever sends the first two weeks to the browser; later weeks are counts, not blurred text. Add to that three countries with different notice periods and sales tax, a PDF that prints well in black and white on two paper sizes, and download links that keep working for thirty days without accounts or passwords.

• A nine-question form and a preview that shows the first two weeks fully dated, with totals for the rest.
• A rules engine that builds the timeline from the answers: renter or owner, kids and pets, country, and how far away the move is, down to a move that is today.
• Stripe Checkout with Stripe Tax for US sales tax, Canadian GST/HST/PST and UK VAT, in each country's currency.
• The full checklist as a PDF in Letter or A4, with room-by-room packing pages, and three add-ons: box labels and an inventory sheet, a calendar file, and weekly reminder emails.
• Fast, crawlable landing pages for each kind of move, since the traffic comes from search.

• TypeScript monorepo: a pure rules engine and task library shared by the API, the PDF and the tests.
• React Router front end, prerendered and served from Azure Static Web Apps with a strict content security policy.
• Azure Functions API on Node 24 with PostgreSQL, Stripe webhooks for fulfilment, and a daily timer for reminder emails.
• PDFs rendered server-side with react-pdf; download tokens stored hashed, two per order.
• Infrastructure as code in Bicep, CI with unit, API and Playwright end-to-end tests on every pull request.

Orderly Move is live and taking payments in three countries. It went from a written spec to a launched product with tests, infrastructure as code and a deploy pipeline.
