What to do if you have a new app idea and would like to develop it but I have no app building experience?

If you have an idea for an app, but don't know how to go about building it, should you outsource it to software engineers? Or should you try and learn software coding/engineering to build it yourself?

Regarding the second point, google the "no-code" movement and you will find ways to build a Minimum Viable Product to get your idea out there for testing...

You can thank me later

Cheers,

There's a movement out there called the "no code movement" that would help you get started without software engineers. It definitely won't get you to a full-fledged product, but it can be very useful if you're at the validation stage, and just really want people to interact with the concept/product idea.

I believe there are many apps developer out there can solve your problem. But the key challenge is h...
