- Authentication & Session: Firebase Authentication + Jetpack DataStore
- Database: Azure PostgreSQL and MongoDB (cloud) + Room (local caching)
- Image Loading: Coil
- Serialization: kotlinx.serialization
- Clean separation of concerns across UI, domain, and data layers

- Backend: Ktor Backend Server with Firebase Auth verification, Azure PostgreSQL, and MongoDB
ClubApp v1.2 introduces controlled club access, structured membership requests and offline-first support for clubs and events lists using Room. The update also improves UI responsiveness, error handling, and overall backend stability.
- Club access control – Creators can open or close clubs, controlling whether new requests are allowed
- Join requests – Users can request to join open clubs; creators and moderators can accept or reject them
- Offline Mode – Clubs and Events lists are available even without internet connectivity, thanks to local caching via Room
- Event–club link – Events now show their parent club name, with quick navigation back to the club page
- Error handling – Error screen redesigned with a retry button for faster recovery
- Responsive UI – Member status updates (club or event) now reflect instantly, with smoother caching and state handling
- Backend – Database migrated to Supabase for improved testing
