I’m the app creator. I’m working on a mobile app but I wanted to start with a web app since I’m new to coding. I can’t promise anything but I’m hoping to release a mobile app within the next few months.


Fwiw, you did a great job and achieved a lot and can make a living from it and all is self taught.

Props to you. I was a bit curious on doing app development and felt it's a bit harder to start with for a beginner. Hence my question to confirm.

Nonetheless I'm sure you're gonna smash it.


Thanks! Yeah, mobile development felt a lot more complicated which is one of the reasons I decided to start with a web app. I wanted to start simple with my first « big » coding project. Now that I feel more confident, I’m ready to give mobile development a try.


Can you please share what are you using to code the app?


It’s a Ruby on Rails app built with Jumpstart Rails as a base SaaS template. Then the front end is mostly Turbo + Stimulus JS. I tried to keep things simple :).
