I started this project to get a better feel for how mobile apps are built. I was curious about the steps involved in developing an app that could potentially be used by hundreds of people. But the real kicker? I needed this app for my friends and me. We often go out to spot Tesla cars, and this app seemed like the perfect companion for our adventures.
Initially, the idea was to create something simple, just a tool for our little betting games. But as I dug deeper into the development process, I realized this app could be much more. It became a learning journey for me – understanding how to roll out updates, fix bugs, and receive feedback from actual users. It's been an eye-opener about the whole app development flow, and I've learned a lot more than I expected.
