building app has started to become commodity, most of these are built over the weekend and left after that. What we need to understand is that user acquisition and retention are the most critical factors of the startups in this era. I don't want to go into negative but every hacker knows that we should build something that solves pain for the users and try to monetize that. And every weekend project submitted here seems to be solving some kind of problem at least for that particular niche market. But to grow such apps into business one needs to work on user acquisition, retention, building credibility and customer loyalty which can not be commoditized. These are completely different aspects of business than writing code and should be taken as serious and aggressive as writing code.
