I don't want to just spread negativity, but I see this so often on HN I feel like it's mean not to comment.

I would strongly recommend anyone considering developing an app to have a list of potential customers before they write a single line of code. This is not a revolutionary idea, but I still see it regularly ignored.

When you launch, you want to be able to send the announcement out to your 1,000/5,000/25,000 email subscribers/insta followers/podcast listeners. Simply writing an app and submitting it to the app store is going to be painful.
