Hi everyone,

I have a question for those of you who have published your first Flutter app on the Play Store.

As a beginner Flutter developer, I understand the frontend side of app development, but backend development feels like a completely different world. At the initial stage, most app developers don't have deep backend knowledge.

So I'm curious:

• How did you handle the backend for your first app?
• Did you use Firebase, Supabase, a custom REST API, or something else?
• Did you learn backend development yourself or rely on no-code/low-code solutions?
• Looking back, what would you recommend to a Flutter developer who wants to publish their first real app?

For context, I'm working on my first app and trying to figure out the most practical way to manage the backend without getting overwhelmed.

I'd love to hear your experiences and lessons learned.

Thanks!

Hello guys, I need a dual-currency card to buy a Play Store console. Which dual-currency card would you suggest?

Hi everyone,

I'm a 25-year-old from Bangladesh who recently learned Dart and is now focusing on Flutter as my long-term path.

My goal is not to get a job. I want to build my own apps, earn money from them, and eventually create a sustainable business around app development.

Right now, I'm trying to understand what I should focus on beyond coding. I know that building a successful app requires more than technical skills.

I'd love to hear from developers, indie hackers, and founders who have successfully built profitable apps.

Some questions I have:

• If you were starting from scratch today, how would you approach this journey?
• What should I focus on during my first year?
• How do you find app ideas that people are willing to pay for?
• How do you validate an idea before spending months building it?
• How important are marketing, sales, and audience building?
• Should I start creating content and building a personal brand from day one?
• What platforms are best for growing an audience as an app developer?
• What are the biggest mistakes beginners make when trying to earn money from apps?

My long-term goal is to become an independent app entrepreneur, not just a programmer. I'm looking for advice on technical skills, business skills, marketing, personal branding, and mindset.

What roadmap would you recommend for the next 3–5 years?

Thank you for any insights or lessons you've learned along the way.
