Building a native app in a month without any prior experience.

Building a native app from scratch can seem like a daunting task, especially if you have no prior experience in app development. However, with the right tools and resources, it's possible to build a fully functional app in just a few weeks. In this blog post, I'll be sharing my journey of building a native app in a month, without any prior experience in app development. So, let's get started and see how I built an app in just a month!

Exploring shapes as number indicators

I'm always looking for new ways to make user interfaces visually interesting and engaging. One technique I've been exploring lately is using shapes as number indicators. Instead of relying on plain numerals to indicate quantities, I've been experimenting with using shapes such as stars. Using shapes as number indicators also helps make information more memorable for users. When a user sees a shape like a star, they are more likely to remember the information associated with it than if it was simply represented by a number.
