Developing a mobile app

Creative Diary

Friday, July 17, 2026

I'm developing apps for Android and iPhone separately. Even now, you can use "Add to Home Screen" to create an icon and launch it like an app, but it's still a web browser under the hood, and notification settings can change without you noticing, so the usability isn't great. I haven't built either before, but if you ask an AI it can create a basic framework. Starting from scratch is tough, but once you have a foundation, development goes faster. The app still has room to improve, but the most tedious part is registering with the app stores. That's also part of the experience.
