I Tried Building a Fitness App in 4 days - Seoul Solopreneur (ep.1)

Sometimes, you just get a burst of idea that you can't resist. They're not always the best ideas, but sometimes it's fun to go for it anyways.

I tried making a 30-day split challenge app after seeing so many challenges on my socials.

I challenged myself to finish the app in just one week. Did I do it? Watch the video to find out :)

I dont think people recognise the amount of skill and effort to
#1 build this app, but
#2 put this video together,
#3 do them both in the quality they have been done

You are going

"Starting projects is my superpower.finishing them is my kryptonite" : I love that sentence (and I can relate ˆˆ)

[steadydogz]

I love these type of content where one shares the build process

[minty]

I also have the problem with having great enthusiasm in the beginning but getting bored and lazy quickly, but I have some tips to help with that:
1. Break the project into smaller milestones
2. Set realistic goals
3. Build a routine
4. Hold accountability
5. Reflect and adapt
And also if you hold yourself accountable for it and tell others about it, you start to feel a need to get the project you were talking about finished, which has helped me a lot.

youtube recommended me a breath of fresh air. nice

I loved two major things
1. You took a real world problem and tried to solve it
2. The simplicity yet effectiveness of this app could be used into a complex application that provides variety of features including stretching

Thanks for the tour around the city!
Key lesson I learned as a student founder, and from joining VC firms:
- as soon as you have the vision, in this case the figma
- start selling your idea to users before development
- some may love it, some maybe meh, some might hate it
- throughout the process u either scope down your audience, your features, your priorities and making yourself lean, fast and most importantly accurately relevant!

Keep up the work man!😊 supporting from Malaysia

[nasko]

As a developer, I really appreciate your way of working. Keep it up, and good luck with the app!

[vigneshshivkumar]

This is not a cake walk. But passion towards building products is making you to do great things. Kudos and Keep going ...

[EderToledo]

I identify with this phrase: "Starting projects is my superpower.finishing them is my kryptonite"

[jaredlomangino]

Nice video, impressive to see a finished product in such a short timeframe!

[princeibekwe]

4 days is wild! cant lie bro this is tuff. big ups

[YREHCorp]

building is the easy part. building something people are willing to pay for and marketing your product so people buy it is the hardest. your app is looking great good luck !

[DemetriusZhomir]

A great example of a dev log with engaging story telling. Nice one, man!

[bhavyakothari]

wow
first time on this channel and the video quality, the storytelling, the visuals just perfect.
love how to whole is relatable as well

[rajpulapakura]

I love your insight into how choosing an AI model is like choosing a clothing brand - this is my first vid from your channel and I'm loving it - subscribed! :)

[ChrisCourses]

Love this man, very inspirational. Been building an app of my own for the past few months and even though it's near the end, would love to do a video like this at some point. Excited to see your next vid 👀

[turkishdelight]

You are an absolute unicorn 🦄 Very cool to see someone with all your skills documenting his work

[namankanodia]

Hey Lucas, What an App!

A possible improvement: enable protractor view in the review screen where you can see your progress throughout the challenge, some users may go back to see that their entry might have been off or may want to add extra notes to a particular day

I finished a video by focusing for the first time. I got inspired and become motived, especially at the end part. I'm learning Flutter and now, I learnt that a finished project is better than 372 unfinished ones. I want to try finishing :) and I subscribed too
