Anyone created their own app? I’m thinking of pursuing an idea but currently working on getting an estimate of what the upfront investment to build it will be. Seems like it varies wildly. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

Really depends on how complex the app is. Does it require a full backend? Will it be mobile only? Etc

You don’t have to code that. Have you looked into using a mostly low code no code stack of solutions?

Yep, I've created a few apps in the past (~2013-2015 era, so not super relevant these days) and have two in progress right now. Of the two in progress:

1) Number crunching app using Power BI Embedded: Looks like about $10k all in to get it off the ground, plus TBD running costs. This is the second version of this app, the first one used custom development for the number crunching part instead of PBIE, I cut it off before it was done, but I think I was at about $18k and climbing with roughly 25% left to develop.

2) Cloud storage aggregation app on a no/low code platform: Target budget is $16k to get it off the ground. This is the second time I've fully rearchitected this app (and first time going with no/low code) since the first version back in 2014; if memory serves, the first two versions came in at around $30k and $35k, respectively.

Forgot to call out--none of these are complicated apps and all are reactive desktop web apps, so that helps keep the costs down.

Not sure where you are at with the project, but have you gone through the design and user testing yet?

Depending on who you go to and the complexity of your app, probably $50K to $100K which includes design.

I’ve been offered a position that I’m really excited about. Their initial offer was 10K more than the top of the salary range they gave me for the position when I asked during the interview process and at the top end of the salary requirements I set for myself. My partner thinks I should still negotiate for more even though I’m happy with the offer. Am I an idiot if I don’t negotiate in this case? Realistically, I don’t think I’d get much more than that, but should I negotiate out of principle?
