Alim's Early App Journey
- Alim built his first app in high school by learning Objective C on his own, spending months on a simple calculator app.
- His startup SeasonShare raised $2 million but was halted by COVID, leading him to head mobile engineering at PrizePicks.
Ignore Tech Stack Overthinking
- Don't overthink the technology stack for your app; users only care if it works well.
- Focus on solving the user's problem effectively rather than the underlying code or framework.
Keep Apps Simple and Profitable
- Launch apps with under 20 screens focusing on subscriptions or one-time purchases; avoid ads or complex monetization.
- Simplifying scope enables quicker launches and better profitability.
