Making an App Is Easy (Well, at First!)

  • サマリー

  • In this video, I dive into the realities of building an app: why starting is the easy (and fun) part, and why the real challenge lies in growing and maintaining it over time.

    I’ll talk about the excitement of launching a new project, the hurdles you’ll face when life gets busy or progress feels slow, and how setting the right expectations can make all the difference. I’ll share tips on building sustainable systems, celebrating small wins, and staying motivated when you hit technical, emotional, or mental roadblocks.

    Whether you’re creating your first app or struggling to keep going, this video is here to remind you to enjoy the process and keep moving forward.
