How long did it take you to get competent enough with your stack in order to be able to actually execute and build these yourself? Did you learn these skills through prior employment, college or self-taught?

#52Do you write everything yourself? Do you write the backend in python/ruby/whatever and then use Java/Kotlin for Android and Swift for iOS or do you use a framework like Flutter to generate apps for both ecosystems? I know how to write backends and APIs across a few languages but I really hate the walled gardens and can't even enjoy writing code for a single ecosystem vs. just writing more logic in a Rails controller…
Instead of looking from tech perspective, i try to look from the solution perspective. I see what can be done in short period and i choose that. If i need to learn a new thing then i will learn or else i will use what i already know.

#53Do you do it all yourself, or do you outsource anything? I'm impressed by the landing pages. Any tips?
I build everything myself. There are so many no code tools, out there. Start with them, so you to go live will be much shorter and you will be able to validate your idea in a short time.

#56Wow nice job. How did you transition into being a full-time maker? Did you have a job and build one of these on the side?
I quit my job and worked on these full time.

Half i learnt then during my employment, Half i learnt when i need to build a specific thing.

No i havent made any hybrid apps. I have built only native apps so far.
