A one-person tech studio · shipping since 2020

Stop losing weeks to
boilerplate
.We ship the product you were going to build next month — this week.

Makershot is a studio run by Koustav. Ready-to-use AI tools when you need a shortcut, real full-stack builds when you need a partner. No agency overhead, no status-meeting theatre.

Fixed scope. Fixed price. Code you own day one.

Stack we live in

  • Next.js 16
  • React 19
  • TypeScript

Shipping cadence

What we’ve shipped in the last 30 days.

Every claim about speed on this page should be checkable. Here are the last few things that actually went live.

Makershot is me. One person. Every line of code, every pixel, every email.

That’s not a disclaimer — it’s the whole point. When you hire the studio, you aren’t handed off to a project manager who’s handing off to an “engineering pod” in a different timezone. You talk to the person who’s building your thing.

I keep client work small on purpose — usually one sprint at a time, two or three concurrent projects at the most. When you email me, I reply the same day. When I deploy, you see it within hours.

The free tools on this site are what I build when I’m between client projects. They’re also the best proof I can give you of how I build things: fast, polished, actually useful. If you like the OG image generator, you’ll like what I can build for you.

The studio rules

Three things we won’t compromise on.

Not aspirational posters. Actual operating rules — the ones that pick what we say yes and no to every week.

01

Speed without cutting corners

We move fast because our stack is sharp, our defaults are right, and we don't run status-meeting theatre. Not because we skip tests or ship broken types.

02

Craft over flash

Typography, spacing, motion, copy — these are the details that make software feel expensive. We obsess over them so you don't have to explain why your product feels cheap.

03

We're not your 14th Slack channel

Async-first, transparent pricing, honest trade-offs. If a feature is a bad idea we'll tell you. If it's a great idea you shouldn't be paying us to build, we'll tell you that too.

“If your idea is clear, we can have something real on the internet by next Friday. That’s the whole promise.”
Koustav
Founder, Makershot
