Development hours that I spend for building a new Android app: Project setup - 15h Subscription list - 23h Subscription form - 28h Details page - 15h Templates page - 12h Settings page - 15h Paywall & monetarization - 16h Import CSV files - 11h Notification - 11h Currency - 5h → 160h for the MVP

Super cool breakdown! I'm always quite slow to get to the MVP, so I was wondering how much time is more "acceptable". So for 8-hour workdays, this would take less than a month?

I would say it cost around 1 month for the basic MVP. It was my first full Compose app, so also a bit of learning there. The CSV import wasn't necessary for the first version, but helped with the testing.

That's nice! Thanks for sharing I'm currently working on a simpler app idea and I'm already 1.5 months into the process (though life gets in the way, so no consistent work times), with still quite a few more things to do... wish me luck 😅

Do you have a 9-5 job? The 160h took my also multiple months due to the other work. Let me know if you need help with something! Wish you the best with your app 🙂
