Working on an app, still in the build and validate phase.

Everywhere online I keep seeing posts about how little apps make and how impossible it is - I’m rethinking putting all this time into this.

Can you make money with an app nowadays?? I was thinking I’d hopefully carve myself out a solid income, ideally 5-10k if I do it right, but now I’m thinking I’ll be lucky to get $500/mo

    Yes, looks saturated these days.

    I was thinking, even if you don’t have a SaaS kind of idea, but something more suitable for mobile app, possible approach could be :
    - Build a responsive web app, robust backend, intuitive frontend

    - catchy, short url

    - Put efforts into marketing this, getting users, probably making accounts, visiting/using regularly. Engage in mailing lists to keep them up to date with features etc.

    - To the point that you get requests for mobile app! Even a small page on website saying Mobile App Coming Soon (or on request)

    How does that sound?
