Solo Dev. Shameer

Self-taught solo dev. Building several apps at once — alone. Sharing the mistakes, lessons & the grind. No filter. AI-assisted, human-directed.

You just get AI to write your code."
​Yeah. And I'm not ashamed of it.
​If writing syntax by hand is your definition of a real developer, you're missing the point. 🧵

Elon Musk in a new interview today on Terafab:

"There's three possible meanings to Terafab. One is terror. I think sometimes people ask, 'Why would you want a terror fab?' Haha. Then there's Terra, which just means Earth, but it's actually Tera for terawatt. But arguably, all three apply."

In practice:
- Ask permissions at the moment of need
- Keep data on-device unless sync is the feature
- No sensitive data in logs
- Audit network traffic and 3rd-party SDKs before release
- Store tokens with Android Keystore

My rule when building Android apps: if I don't need the data, I don't collect it.

Most budget and timeline problems hide in these answers.

Answer them before hiring any developer, including me.

5 questions I ask before building any client's Android app:

1. Who is the one person this app is for?
2. What one action must they finish in under a minute?
3. Which devices and Android versions must it support?
4. What data does it store, and must it leave the phone?
5. What does "done" look like?

[Solo Dev. Shameer @solodevshameer]

Measure first: Layout Inspector shows recomposition counts per composable. Fix what the numbers show, and test on a real mid-range phone.

What's the first thing you check when a screen lags?

[Solo Dev. Shameer @solodevshameer]

Jetpack Compose screen feels laggy? Check these 3 things before rewriting anything:

3. Pass stable, immutable data into composables so Compose can skip work when nothing changed.

Solo Android dev from Islamabad. I build native apps with Kotlin + Jetpack Compose: clean architecture, smooth performance, polished UI.

Open for freelance work. Got an app idea or an app that needs fixing? DM me. I'll give you honest feedback first.

[Solo Dev. Shameer @solodevshameer]

Looking for an Android developer who treats your app like a product, not a ticket?

I'm Faizan, a solo Android developer in Islamabad, Pakistan. I build native Android apps with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose.

What you get when we work together:

- Clean architecture (MVVM, separated layers), so your app stays easy to extend later
- Performance-first code: smooth scrolling, fast startup, careful memory use
- Polished UI that follows Material design and feels premium, not just functional
- REST API integration with proper loading, error and offline states
- Async work done right with Kotlin Coroutines and Flow
- AI-assisted features and automation, only where they add real value

How I work:

- We agree on scope, timeline and cost in writing before I start
- You get regular progress updates and working builds, not surprises at the end
- If something is unrealistic or risky, I tell you early

I'm early in my freelance journey, so I'm taking on a limited number of projects and giving each one full attention. You work directly with the developer who writes your code.

Have an app idea, or an existing Android app that needs new features, a redesign or performance fixes? Send me a message with a short description and I'll reply with honest feedback and next steps.

ایک تاریخی ہارر کہانی!۔۔۔ ایک نئے شادی شدہ جوڑا اپنی شادی کی پہلی تعطیلات کے لیے سعودی عرب جاتا ہے۔ وہ بنگلہ دیش سے ہیں۔ سعودی عرب پہنچنے کے بعد، شوہر مسجد کے سامنے اپنی بیوی کے ماتھے کو چوم لیتا ہے۔ ایک پاکستانی اسے ویڈیو بنا لیتا ہے اور پولیس کو مطلع کر دیتا ہے۔ انہیں تلوار سے سرقلم کر دیا جاتا ہے اور ان کی لاشیں باکسوں میں ان کے ملک واپس بھیج دی جاتی ہیں۔ بغیر کسی مقدمے کے۔
