From Idea to App Store 🚀

The process and tools behind this app (and almost every other app):

🔍 Ideation & Pre-validation • Research, benchmarking, and ASO using mainly AsoDev and Astro.

✍️ Wireframing • Low-fidelity wireframe sketched by hand using Freeform on iPad. • High-fidelity wireframe on Figma.

🎨 UI Design • UI designed in Figma to bring the vision to life.

💻 Development • RevenueCat for paywalls and subscriptions. • Mixpanel for analytics. • Custom JSON files for word validation (to avoid reliance on public APIs, thanks to ChatGPT 😉).

Now, let's see if the pre-validation hypothesis turns into validation... or not.

Build simple. Test fast. Learn faster. ⚡️
