What’s the real reason you build apps? (Be honest)
The app stores are flooded, and a lot of apps today feel exactly the same. Given how saturated everything is, what keeps you motivated to build? What drives you to put your time and energy into creating a new app in 2026?

I wanted an app to exist, but I haven't seen it elsewhere, so I created it

I think to thrive more learnings I see to myself (as a student that needs to step up with other peers) in order to stand out and know what's actually my worth as an learner itself.
honestly, i build apps because i like turning random ideas into something people can actually use. seeing someone download my app, leave feedback, or tell me it solved a problem is way more motivating than just watching another tutorial. i know most apps won't blow up, but i'd rather build something real than keep wondering "what if?"
