Ishan has always delivered more than what was expected. You just need to tell him the objective and he will come up with ideas to make it better. We did multiple complex projects together and he made everything look super easy. I highly recommend his services to anyone.

Our Secret Sauce

GPT + Tamagui + Solito + Expo + Next.js

We build with an insanely productive tech stack, allowing us to produce in weeks, work that traditionally takes months.

For UI we use Tamagui, a highly performant UI kit (and more) that allows us to share an unprecedented amount of code across Android, iOS and the web, enabling us to develop for all three platforms in tandem, fast!

Further, we lean heavily on GPT-powered code-generation leading to a significant speed-up in feature delivery.

Ishan's aptitude for owning projects end-to-end, balancing quality code with delightful nuances, consistently earned my respect. His passion for the field was always evident as he kept up with trends and leveraged cutting-edge frameworks wherever possible. But what truly distinguished him was his genuine empathy for the end user, evident in every detail.

You can take a big picture business requirement to Ishan, and trust him to execute a product with empathy for the end user, and refined taste. His method is to break down a product idea into a set of assumptions and create MVPs that can go out quickly for real world tests with end users. This has helped us spend less time going down the wrong path, and more time hearing from our users.

I used Ishan's app Clapstream for a few mad, mad gigs during the Covid lockdowns. I remember him talking about it as an early idea in mid-March and in mid-May the app was ready and I held my first gig. I found the platform to be very high quality in terms of the audio and video, and my fans really appreciated the quality, seamlessness and the unique interactive features. Cheers to Ishan!

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the process look like?

Upon subscription, you and your team will be added to a private Trello board where you can start creating a prioritized list of features (or changes) you want in your app. At the start of each sprint, we'll sit with you on a call to pluck features from this list to create the sprint plan. We'll then work on the features for the next 6 days and deliver the app to you for testing and release. The process then repeats for the next sprint.

What can I expect to get done in 1 sprint?

For most apps, you can expect to have an MVP out in 1 Escape Velocity sprint or in 2 Pedal to the Metal sprints. Take a look at some example sprint scopes for an idea of what can be achieved in a sprint.

Who are the creators of 2-Minute Apps?

2-Minute Apps is run by Ishan Ahuja, a full-stack developer and designer with 10+ years of experience building apps for startups and enterprises. A few designers and developers work with him on a contract basis to help with the workload.

What tools and frameworks do you work with?

Most of our apps are built with Expo and Next.js using the Tamagui UI Kit. It allows us to share a lot of UI code across iOS, Android and Web, is highly productive and has great performance. On the backend, we use Firebase and Supabase for most apps, but we are open to using other libraries, frameworks and tools if you have a preference. We build our landing pages with Framer, a powerful no-code website creation app. If you would prefer to have us build your landing page with Webflow, just let us know and we'll build it with Webflow instead.

What if I am not satisfied with the deliverable?

Not a problem. We encourage you to bring this up on your next sprint planning call so that we can incorporate your suggestions in the next sprint.

Is there any minimum commitment?

The plans are payable monthly, so you are committing to 4 sprints at a time. However, when you don't have 4 sprints worth of work, you can easily pause the subscription after a week-long sprint and resume it when you are ready so you're not wasting any portion of your subscription.

Are there any contracts to use your service?

No, there are no contracts and no lock-in. You can cancel your subscription at any time.

Do you work on adding functionality or making changes to existing apps?

Generally, we only work on apps that we have built. However, if you have an existing app that you would like us to work on, please reach out to us at hello@2minuteapps.co and we can discuss it.

Who owns the intellectual property that is created?

The client owns all the code, design and all the other intellectual property. We will provide you with one or more GitHub repositories that you will have full ownership of.

Do you also take care of hosting the app and any other operations?

We require that you, the client, sign up for hosting and any other services that are required to run the app. We will help you with this process and provide guidance on what to sign up for. This is so that the client has full ownership of the app and is not at our whim to keep their product running.

Why wouldn't I just hire full-time designers and developers?

Great question! A senior full stack developer will easily cost you upwards of $100,000 per year, not to mention the time and effort it takes to find the right person. With 2-Minute Apps, you get a build your app out for a fraction of the cost. You can also pause or cancel your subscription when the app is complete and you want to put all your efforts behind marketing it.
