Should I outsource development? (alien.top)

Hello,

I want to publish an app (it is a rather simple one), but dont have any experience in software development. Is it wiser to learn it on my own to have full control over the app or should I outsource it? I saw many developer on fiver that are offering Development for 500-2000$. Are they worth it? And if I do it on my own, should I do Swift or Flutter development?

Thanks in advance

Should I outsource my surgery to a doctor or learn how to do it on my own?

[–] t1ya@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I agree with this.

Create a basic requirements sheet - do some wireframing - get devs to code what you want. You can focus more on learning the product part instead of development.

If you know some basics about development: For Auth-payments-and all other similar services, use free tier of other providers. There are multiple services handling these functionalities so you don’t have to spend time on this.

If you do not know coding and just want to try out something on your own: check Thunkable. Not too much flexibility, but good enough to start.

If you need any help, feel free to DM. I help with MVPs

What an ignorant reply. I guess since you aren’t a farmer you should never start a garden? You’re not an electrician so you should never change a light bulb. Software development isn’t brain surgery.

Yeah software development is like changing lightbulbs.
