Your first app won’t make you rich. But it’ll change you. Because now you’ve proven you can turn ideas into reality.

Creating is transformative; the real wealth lies in the skills gained.

Your first product teaches you how to build. Your second teaches you what to build.

Yeah I think the goal should be to prove yourself that you can ship sth

Two products in and this lands hard. The first app does not make you rich - it changes how you think. You prove you can turn an idea into reality, and that rewires your next choices.

that’s really was what clicked for me seeing it live in the app store made me realize that

Seeing something you thought of become a real thing is an accomplishment on its own!

Replying to @anumness
Yea it becomes an addicting idea that you can keep making ideas into something and build them into the world

Replying to @anumness
agree! it gives confidence that we can build and ship them...

It is my biggest achievement so far. Haven’t made any money but I had proved myself capable of publishing something valuable.

Very true. My first app didn‘t make me rich. It paid my rent. My second app flopped hard. But my next apps did incredibly well. You gotta hang in there and run your experiments until you get a signal emerging from the noise. Enjoy the process and remember why you are doing it.

Yup, that first “Approved by Apple & Google” felt like a dream — then came the reality check after launch 😅 Still the best lesson ever.

True that!!

Well said When I had my first app on Play Store it felt like I can build anything that I imagine

my first app turned out to be dogshit (tons of bugs) actually, do i still count myself in the same category ?
Replying to @anumness
Making something out of nothing is a practice.
Replying to @anumness
I will prove you wrong.
Replying to @anumness
it's always about who you become through the journey
Replying to @anumness
Yep. My first app didn’t change my bank account, it changed my identity. It turned me from idea guy into builder. The real win is momentum: you start seeing problems as shippable. Next step is learning what to build and how to get it in front of people.

And also proven that sleep is optional and debugging is eternal
Replying to @anumness
My first app took me 6 months but I learned so much
Replying to @anumness
Sold my first app in 2016 for six figures.
Replying to @anumness
Love this — that first app is the apprenticeship. It proves you can ship. The next move is to systematize that muscle into attention.
Replying to @anumness
This is where I’m at now. The goal is more to prove to myself I can do it and get it into the App Store. I’ve learned so much in the last few months
