Hey everyone,

I’m a solo dev looking to start my first real app project. I haven't settled on a specific idea yet because I want to actually understand the business/monetization side of things before I spend months coding.

Since I'm doing this alone, I want to keep things realistic. I'm trying to weigh the money options (Ads, One-time purchase, or Subscriptions)

If you were starting completely from scratch today with no audience, which route would you go? Also which app categories will you start with (games, productivity, ...)

Would love to hear what's actually working for you guys right now.
Thanks!

Quick question for those who work from home with others, does it ever bother you when background blur on Zoom or Meet still shows a roommate or family member walking behind you? How do you deal with it?
