🏃‍♂️ Client’s Idea

The client envisioned a geo-service for athletes to help:

• 📍 discover nearby sports spots;
• 🤝 find training partners.

He came with a clear vision and urgency to launch ASAP.

💡 The Solution

We had a Telegram Mini App framework ready, so the MVP shipped in one month.

⚠️ Challenges & Pitfalls

1) Client-driven design: for us design ≈ spacing tweaks; for the client it meant rewriting frontend logic → endless delays and redesign loops.

2) No audience: we learned that idea ≠ product — an app without users has no value.

🛠 Technical Implementation

• 📍 Map with sports spots
• 🤖 Bot for adding & moderating spots
• 📜 Legal docs & privacy compliance
• 🔐 Basic data security
• ⚙️ Admin panel for spots and users

✅ Results

• Working MVP in record time
• Solid foundation for scale
• Key insight: value comes from users, not pixel-perfect UI

🎯 Client’s Idea

• 📚 Flashcards are powerful for learning,
• 😩 but creating them by hand is tedious.

We built a subscription app with ready-made decks.

💡 The Solution

• 📚 Pre-made flashcard sets
• 🔑 Subscription-based access
• ⚡ Smooth learning interface

🛠 Technical Implementation

• 🚀 React + Next.js + Framer Motion
• 🐍 FastAPI backend
• 🧮 FSRS spaced-repetition algorithm
• 💳 Payments & subscription logic
• 🔔 Notification bot
• 🛠 Admin panel for content & users

✅ Results

• First paid flashcard mini-app launched
• Monetization from day one
• Pricing experiments in progress

📌 Insights

• Flashcards work beyond education niches
• Telegram Mini Apps = fast launch + built-in distribution
• Monetization at launch → real business from day one

🎯 Client & Goals

Small electronics retailer (laptops, TVs, accessories). Goals:

• Scalable platform for thousands of SKUs
• Great UX for buyers, control for owners
• Analytics, security, and SEO for growth

💡 The Solution

🔎 E-commerce Features

• 📊 Plausible + server-side tracking (end-to-end analytics)
• ⚡ SEO: metadata, clean URLs, fast SSR
• 📡 Server health dashboard (uptime, load, errors)

⚠️ Challenges

• No designer at start, but “design-level” expectations
• Immature APIs (FB, accounting ARM) & mismatched docs
• Mid-project tech changes (state-manager rewrite)

✅ Results

• 🚀 Full-featured store with thousands of products
• 🛒 Complete ecosystem: catalog → accounting → analytics
• 📈 Ready to scale

📌 Key Insight

Fixed 2-month scope was unprofitable → moved to hourly billing.
