Unfortunately I can't. Building the app and publishing it would require me to learn the Shopify App Store development stack.Can you build it using no-code tools?
Man that's bullshit. Enjoy it and don't beat yourself up about one of the greatest joys of life. Doesn't matter if you're hustling or whatever. In the future you'll look back with fondness to the early days of infatuation. Don't ruin it thinking you're doing something bad.
I have to agree with your advice. The trade of just working and not living isn't the life I want to lead. If am I being honest with myself I can do both things - talk with her and build this app, it's all about how I prioritize my time.
Well, I could there is nothing stopping me. I could buy some cars again and flip them in a few weeks or run around the neighborhood mowing lawns.Why can't you do something where you can make a sale, next week?
1.5 years to create an app?
Learning, before creating an app?
Or maybe somehow get paid to learn?
IDEA - Stop With The Ideas
One of my biggest red flags is the word "idea". Especially when it's an "idea for an app". Especially when you say you "can't reach an audience to test it". Especially when it'll take a minimum of 6 months to "go live". Having ideas suggests you're in your head theorising, rather than out...www.thefastlaneforum.com
The thing is that the skills I'm developing are directly aiding future Darwin and the version on my life I've envisioned 5 years from now so I see my trajectory as the most direct path.
I have to agree when you say that taking 8 months (in the post you linked) just to develop this idea would be too long. This is why I've shifted my reasoning to this -- forget the ideas that I have now. In 8 months I'll have the needed skills to run with whatever idea is relevant at the time. But I can't do any idea if I don't have these skills.
I could get paid to learn and develop these skills by freelancing but even then I'm too inexperienced to make money that way which is why I think this learning process is what I need to tackle first.
