Anyone here develop Shopify App with no coding experience?

[DeletedUser0287]

Need some opinions of people that are programmers.

How long do you think it would take for someone to develop a functional app of moderate-high complexity through Shopify? How large of a feat is this? Is this considered difficult for someone who already knows software development?

My thing is ecommerce, but I have a clear vision of a Shopify App that is mandatory for brand building.

Why I'm deciding to build it myself, unless someone convinces me otherwise...
1) All the other solutions on Shopify App don't suit are poor and don't suit my needs well. Paying for a mediocre solution ekk.
2) Save money and ongoing operating costs by having my own app and not paying for someone elses.
3) App is going to be built for my own store, but if good enough, I guess I can also list it on the App Store for another source of income. If so, I would be listing at $100/month.

Based on my research: I am going to have to know Javascript, Node.JS, React, Polaris, Shopify API, GraphQL, and how a web app works in general.
