I have a number of phone app/SaaS ideas floating around my mind. The first one I want to focus on has the greatest market potential being that I am in the field, and there are no known apps that fill this space.
My question: I know from a business standpoint, my best bet to get an MVP to market is not to code, and outsource the work to get it to market quickest - has anyone ever used these online app-maker subscription programs to get the code written for their MVP?
The app itself will be on a month to month subscription basis. I found an app-maker company that allows you to own the source code that they develop, so if/when the app proves market viability, I am thinking of developing an optional back-end add on that I would then outsource to a larger development company if it is warranted. I have to shoestring due to a tight budget, and while I certainly have no issue learning to code (I am doing so, in fact), it is more to educate myself about the process so I don't sound like a complete a$$ when issues arise.
Does this sound like a viable idea? Is there a better way to go about it?
