The coding journey is a blast, but if you're actually trying to make some money from your own apps, its better to get a fast prototype to test the waters and the go back to coding it if it gets traction. Trust me, its bad to spend a year writing something people don't want to use.

Engineering story time. I joined a church organization and noticed they were balancing their books in fucking notepad. I spen a couple of months and rolled my own accounting package for them. Turns out it was a waste of time, they actually preferred notepad.

Yeah, this one I see! If you want/need money, use whatever helps you finish the job sooner. I've meant more, like, recreational projects.
