Startup app development: a choose your own disaster adventure📖
95% of startup apps die in their first 3 months.
Not because the market is cruel. Not because of bad luck.
Because they make the same 7 mistakes over and over again.
After building 200+ apps, we've seen every possible way this can go wrong.

The thing that gets me: Every single one of these mistakes is 100% preventable.
Like, we literally have a checklist.
Mistake #2 especially hurts because teams will spend months building features that users will never, ever touch. Users engage with 20% of app features. Twenty. Percent.
But developers keep adding more buttons and menus and settings because "users might want this someday."
Spoiler: They won't.
One startup used our framework and avoided all 7 mistakes:
127K downloads month one
$890K revenue first quarter
89% users still active after 3 months
Got funding while competitors were failing
The plot twist: App success isn't about having the best idea. It's about not screwing up the execution.
Which mistake made you go "oh no, that's definitely something I would do"?
Drop it in the notes no judgment, we've all been there.
