look, you seem like might really just be a genuine kid, genuinely trying. Stay away from youtubers like mark lou, they're grifters. A rule of thumb I'm sure near all here will agree with me on is that "get rich quick" content creators have plagued every human medium from speech to books to the internet, and they have never, EVER, been right.
They make their money from fooling others. Stick to educational channels. Learn to code. Learn a valuable skill you can take pride in. Mark lou and the like will at best teach you to grift, and learning to grift is not the way to a good life. You clearly have a knack for tech, but know if it's easy, then something is almost surely wrong. Anything that would be easy to exploit becomes incredibly competitive, making it hard. There are no easy wins in life, beyond those you were born to.
This is the best comment here! I made this app not with making money in mind, but knowing I want an obtainable skill that I can leverage with applying to schools/jobs. I’m not here to make money quick, I want to build something with meaning, and I don’t think that’s possible with someone’s first app. This is the first step in learning to reach my meaningful idea.
