Process

The Zero-to-App Journey

Starting Line:

  • 📚 0 Experience: Never built an app, never published to stores

  • 1 Month: From blank Xcode project to live on Apple/Play Stores

  • 🧠 Fuel: Pure grit + behavioral science books (Carnegie, Greene, Brown)

What We Shipped:

  • 20+ Social Hacks: From “power nods” to narrative storytelling

  • Behavioral Science Playbook: Simple explanations, real-world examples

  • No Code: Pure native iOS/Android (the hard way)

9-Year Legacy That Matters

  • 🌱 Still Thriving: 100 downloads organically

  • 📈 Proved: Apps are learnable skills, not mystical arts

  • 🔄 Pivot Power: Laid foundation for Evolum/BeeDone’s AI systems

“What this taught me:

  1. App Stores Are Just Gates – Not guarded ones

  2. Your 1st App Will Suck – Ship anyway

  3. Time Compounds – What’s “basic” today becomes “visionary” in 5 years

The Anti-Perfectionist Blueprint

Step 1: Open Visual Studio Code  
Step 2: Google “How to make button”  
Step 3: Repeat for 30 days  
Step 4: Hit “Submit”  
Step 5: Watch magic happen

Color Psychology Bonus:
Dark Blue (1F2A40) = Trust + Wisdom → Perfect for behavioral science
Gold (FFC246) = Achievement → For users unlocking social mastery
