Oh! What can I say? Three years ago, I began thinking about building a No-Code app. Over these three years, I made plans, designed mock-ups, talked to developers about how to work on it, had numerous meetings to determine which features to add and how to execute them. Then, in March of this year, we started developing it, and now our product has been launched. However, there is still a lot of ongoing work on the backend. #CodeConductor https://www.producthunt.com/prod...

@pauldhaliwal Wow..that is great! Building a product not easy it takes time money and lots of intellegent people.

I have been associated with many app projects in my career, and sometimes it takes 1 month to 1-2 years to develop them. 😎

I never build an app.

Simple apps with basic functionality may take a few weeks to develop, while more complex apps with advanced features can take several months or even longer. It's crucial to have a clear understanding of the client's specific needs and objectives to provide a more accurate estimate of the development timeline.

Some 2 weeks, some 2 years. Depends on the complexity and at what stage you want to take it to the market.

Many, many days, and we haven't even made it to launch yet! Although, mDash, our AI-powered project management platform built specifically for web development, was created within my web development agency while we were also juggling our client projects. That definitely slowed down the process. We've nearly made it to launch for our open beta, though, and we can't wait to share our solution with everyone and get feedback, as mDash still needs a lot of work yet. If anyone is at all interested supporting our launch and providing feedback on mDash, feel free to check out our coming soon page to learn more!

@nitin_joshi Its live yes. 1 year of fundraising, 1 year of making it, 1 year of building the infrastructure around it. This year is about helping it survive in the real world.

I work for an agency that specializes in building no-code/low-code solutions as well as custom MVPs. On average, it takes around 12 weeks to build a custom MVP and 4-6 weeks for a no-code/low-code solution. However, as others have mentioned in the discussion, the timeline can vary depending on the complexity of the project.
Nitin Joshi
@adam_pall Yes! It all depends on the complexity of that application. Since you've been a part of many projects while working for an agency, how easy is it for you to build an app, and how difficult is it?
