Run and Run — My Two-Week Sprint in Flutter Development

If you’ve played shooter games, you might know the term “run and gun” — sprinting through levels while taking out enemies. My version is called “run and run”. The difference? I’m not shooting; I’m coding.

For the first month of my Flutter journey, I was deep in the fundamentals — slowly figuring out widgets, state management, and app architecture. Then, two weeks ago, something clicked. The learning curve, which had been flat and steady, suddenly turned steep, like the upward slope of a parabola. I went from struggling to build a simple calculator app… to shipping multiple apps in days.

The Start of Run and Run

It began 14 days ago. I decided to stop overthinking and just build. My goal: create projects quickly, post them publicly, and make each one better than the last. Since then, I’ve built three full Flutter apps in just ten days — they are beginner level projects like a currency converter , weather app or a flashcard app but each with cleaner code, more features, and faster development time than last one.

When I posted my very first project (the calculator) on LinkedIn, the response was surprisingly strong. That instant feedback loop motivated me to push harder. I started treating every app as both a learning exercise and a portfolio piece.

The Mindset

I believe mastery isn’t about building an app in 30 days; it’s about reaching the same quality in 10. The more I iterate, the more I find shorter, smarter solutions to problems that once slowed me down.

If I keep this pace, I could complete over 100 projects in a year. Of course, as my apps grow in complexity, I’ll extend my development cycle from 3 days to 5–7 days per project. But for now, Run and Run is about speed, consistency, and momentum.

Why I’m Documenting This

This isn’t just for motivation — it’s also to keep myself accountable. Sharing progress publicly builds discipline, creates opportunities, and shows real growth over time.

Two weeks in, I’m already seeing the results. Imagine what 50 more weeks of “run and run” could do.
