Hi everyone, I’m new to this community. 👋 I’m nontechnical, and I want to bring my idea to life so I’m looking for some guidance. My idea is to build a simple web app that generates images for users. From what I understand, it would need: - a front end - a backend - a database - a paywall At this stage, I only want to build enough to validate my idea. I’m not sure if this is the right design or if I’m missing important parts. I have a few questions and would really appreciate your advice: - Is this the right approach for an MVP to make it as a web app? - What important parts am I missing? - As a non-technical person, can I realistically build this myself by learning from videos, or are there serious technical challenges I won’t be able to handle alone? - If I decide to hire a developer, what questions should I ask to make sure they’re capable of building this project? - What are the major red flags or risks in web app development that I should know before starting? - For idea validation what is a realistic budget, or are there hidden costs (especially for AI image generation) that non-technical founders usually don’t know about? - And what other question do I need to ask myself? Thanks a lot for your time and help. I’m here to learn.
