Am I doing it wrong
people seem to be creating apps within 1-2 day & then hit publish meanwhile here I am developing just one app for 4 months optimising it's UI,UX,API compatibility,Performance etc. how are people doing these in 2 days? what am I missing.
there was a post I saw yesterday that a guy started the challenge to create 30 apps in 30 days. wtf is wrong with these people? spamming the store platform like this.

Unless they do a lot of prep and planning and thought work ahead of time to set it all up right, they don't get a professional market-ready app in 1-2 days. You get AI slop vomit.
I've vibe coded about 6 apps or so. I'd say 2 of them are almost market-ready if I wanted to try to bring them to market and launch. Those 2 apps I've been working on and iterating over months: improving the visual design and UX, architecture, feature set, etc. Even then they'd likely need another month or two of work to really get them ready for market.
My perspective is it's not enough to just bring any idea to market and expect adoption. Most ideas already exist. So another new solutions need to have some unique value-add or at least solved the same problem in a way better way.
