Stopped Progress For Now
I've realized that apps are not a golden ticket. I want real business with a model, not a hobby project. As fun as this has been so far. I will not be putting any extra time into it. Also to anyone curious visual apps are expensive as all hell to make unless you can code. Then you pay in time.
I have an vision for an app, I got the idea using idea extraction which I first saw in Dane Maxwell's video. I got this from one college student, then started asking more students and the final response from almost all was "Yes, I would pay for that."
Update
I have changed app ideas as this one has gotten more feedback and has more update/paid content potential. It runs in the horror genre. Soon as I have the promo video/website I will post it here.
This thread is mostly for me to keep track and have some accountability. However if anyone has advice please feel free to post. This forum and TFL book has helped me inexplicably so far.
