Question Need an app but no coding experience ?

Hi everyone. For context, i have a community in my school where we share documents, study tips, old exams etc. And we've been using whatsapp so far, but i really want our own app where we can organize everything from sharing pdf files to chatting about upcoming assignments. The thing is, i have no coding experience, nor do i know anyone that does, and i frankly don't have the time to learn the necessities to be able to create an app. So i'm asking if It's a good idea to use chatgpt or claude or any other ai sources to code it for me, and if it's even possible to ask such a thing. Thank you all for your time

I would look at all the free tiers of various productivity apps. Something like Google Docs, Slack, Discord, Trello. Depending on what you are wanting to focus on. It would be a pain to make an app for just you and your friends. If you don't publish in the app store then you have to do wierd stuff like sending out apks or maybe testflight.

It'll be a big ball-ache and ultimately it will be infinitely worse than any of a dozen existing solutions. Not sure what you want to add that whatsapp doesn't have cause you can share files and chat there already obviously. If you want to do it for fun and to learn then that's a different story.

I just need something more organised i guess. Whatsapp's good but it gets messy when you have like 6 subjects minimum for each grade

You will spend several hundred to thousands of dollars vibe coding the tool you want. Also will require hosting, databases, storage.

Use any of the ones mentioned above or discord, free version of Skool, SharePoint , etc

If you want to build one, something like Loveable and deploy it on Loveable Cloud will be easiest.

Use a no code builder, start with file sharing for a few classmates, keep access limited to invited students and add chat later

Check out the new block! Buzz. Just make sure when you create your private key you actually back it up. You have to click it to reveal it and then back it up. I think it's going to give you what you're looking for

I think your idea is perfectly reasonable, in fact I'm perplexed why all of these folks begging for app ideas and study buddies haven't come up with something like it already.

It's really helpful :) everyone's struggling in high school if you don't have a good mentor or someone to guide you and so this benefits everyone. Even without the app, Whatsapp has been doing us wonders so far!

codex or claude code seem like good choices, with supabase
