If you don't trust AI, you have two options on how to proceed:
1. Learn to code yourself, and then make your dream app (can be free if you utilize the resources available online correctly, but it will take time)
2. Hire a developer to code the app for you (it will cost, but you won't have to focus on development and will have time to spare on other tasks like product design, marketing etc.)
The option you choose will depend on your circumstances.

So learn to code. Don't let the "I don't know" stop you.

Done it multiple times, and yes, I know how to code both backend and frontend, currently learning web desing.

Go on end execute. What are you waiting for?

And the irony is, the app developer he hires will use AI to develop the app.

Everyone has great ideas, but they’re worth nothing by themselves.

What’s your idea and what additional value do you plan on adding?

I think no one here will “steal” it…

CENTS analysis on your product’s vision?

1 year ago, I was like you. An idea, zero coding skills. Started learning code from scratch even if was not passionate about it.

Now I love solving coding problems (that will solve business problems of course)

You can hire but you’ll need to manage that hire. I currently work as a product owner and I can tell you it does require some experience to manage a development team. And your specifications better be crystal clear.

Personally I think your best option is to learn code and then code the app.

MJ mentions this in one of his videos. You have to be willing to learn a skill.

You can do it, good luck!

As a professional developer, I would say that it depends on the type of app that you want to make.
You can get very good results, with flutterflow + AI in medium complexity apps.
It going to take you lots of time if you are not a developer, but if you don't care to dedicate around 200-300 hours to make the app, you can make decent app.
If you learn programming, an app that takes 200-300 hours with no experience, could take around 40 hours.
So my recommendation is learn a little bit about programming, in around 6 months you can get a level high enough to build your own apps.

I’m an experienced app developer with over 20 years software dev - I most recently worked for an ex-Dallas Cowboys footballer on a fitness app at Apple labs in Cupertino.

I have an alternate income (another business) and time on my hands. I’m looking for a good idea. Hit me up if collaboration sounds at all interesting.

Hi Colin.
You have a solid experience.
I also have an idea but I have no experience in mobile app development.
I'm more of an full-stack engineer in web development and if possible would love to connect!

Looking forward to your reply.

If you have zero $$ learn how to code.

Or learn bubble.io

Research, learn, solve.

2 years ago I started learning how to code.

Currently i'm building my 6th SaaS

Reilly Chase (Owner of HostiFi) pointed Mr in thr direction of Laravel.

Laravel - The PHP Framework For Web Artisans

Laravel is a PHP web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We’ve already laid the foundation — freeing you to create without sweating the small things.

laravel.com

Here's a great website to learn how to build an application. If im going to be honest, it's actually quite cool

Laracasts

The definitive resource for Laravel and PHP training.

laracasts.com

This can get you going. I kinda want to develop an app now over a product now that I think about it. If I were to match my skills to a business with a large TAM. A SAAS would be much better than Ecommerce. Also considering that I wouldn't want to take on ant VC or investors due to how the market landscape is right now. Yellow Trucking, Proterra EV, and WeWork are headed to Bankruptcy. Found info on YT, they pointed in the direction of because of Debt they took on.

Hope this helps . Arvid Khal and Rob Walling are both good mentors.

In Laravel you star off by learning PHP. Go on AWS or Azure Cloud. Sign up for their Free tier plan, learn the technologies that are offered, create yourself some VMs, and Code away!
