So I have an app idea, but I’m good at business not code. What do I do? How do I build it?

Before you build anything, design a wireframe diagram and define use cases for how a target user will navigate the app. That’ll get you a good basis if you want to pursue seed funding or hiring a contracted dev.

Also, try to validate via the wireframes. Anything you can do with low cost low fidelity will lead to a better product and higher likelihood of success.

Everyone has an app idea but does the world need more apps?

Yes, hire someone.
(My team and I often do Discovery projects to help people work through the initial idea, and help them decide if and how to build it, following a similar set of questions as the ones posted above. It really helps)

You tried no code. If ya dm me and tell me gist of what type of product your trying to build, I could point you in the direction of what tools you might be able to use. Tbh, some form of Bubble io, airtable, and zapier could do a lot

Hire a contractor

Share your idea on Fishbowl and if it’s compelling enough you might just wind up with a co-founder!

Also depending on what the idea is, check out no-code app building platforms and maybe try building it yourself!

What type of an app is this? Any specific area?

This blog will give you an idea where to start https://medium.com/@gobiraj/i-am-not-technical-how-can-i-get-an-app-built-ffe33cc776c8

Your first step should be asking yourself if your idea solves a problem actual people have or if it’s just a nice to have. It should always be a problem solver. From there, build wireframes and perhaps a low fidelity prototype (no code needed. Use marvel or figma). This prototype should be for an mvp not a whole fleshed out app.

Step 3 should be getting feedback from potential users. Remember, you need more than friends and family here.

If you’re idea has legs, you’ll know by this stage. Now you can hire a contractor if need be
