I been trying to learn to code for about 5 to 6 years now. After doing tutorial after tutorial I still feel like no where closer to developing anything than when I first started in 2019.
For all these years I never knew what I wanted to work on. I have a passion for Bitcoin but trying to jump in head first with protocol development is proving to be very difficult.
So after watching this video I am going to give plebdev’s method a shot. Come up with some lofty goal and then pursue it. It took plebdev almost 9 years to finally build his FB/Twitter application.
So instead let’s see if I can build my MVP which is
Building a native app for stacker news
I know a developer build the bsats app which was a SN native app for iOS written in JavaScript the developer but stopped maintaining it. So I forked it and will start learning to hopefully bring my MVP to life!
I think if SN had a cool native app more people may be interested in using the site. At the very least I will build something that I wish existed. I’m not a fan of PWAs if I can develop a nice native app for SN the I myself can build features into the app that will make me happy.
I know this might take me 9 years to complete but now when I am learning to code I have an actual project I am working towards that will benefit my as whole.
