Wanted to create App for free?

I am 22 and 3rd year CS undergrade. Always Wanted to make my own apps but one thing that stopping me (other then that i didn't know to build Apps) was Money you have to pay fee to publish app on Play store or App store. And as an undergrade in India in didn't have that. Then I introduced you to progressive web apps (read about it below). Now i can make Apps with zero money. Thanks GOD Story My semester breaks are going on and I decided to do something productive so participated in an hackathon. It was about spreading awareness about finance and economy. Thought finance is always boring what if i can create an app where people can learn in fun way So let me introduce you to FinLingo financial quiz app. Simple but effective. Tech Stack i used: PWA (progressive web apps) : applications that you build by using web technologies, and that can be installed and can run on all devices, from one codebase. PWAs provide native-like experiences to your users on supporting devices. In short you can build an APP at once and can be used in any platforms (mac, linux, windows, Android, ios). Also no need to worry about publishing fee (It's completely free). Next.js : For both frontend + Backend. It can be use for full-stack development. SEO friendly. Supabase : To Store my app data. An SQL database. This is how i created my first App for free and you can do the same. If you wanna see my code click here. . . . Thanks! for reading till end.

Story

My semester breaks are going on and I decided to do something productive so participated in an hackathon. It was about spreading awareness about finance and economy. Thought finance is always boring what if i can create an app where people can learn in fun way So let me introduce you to FinLingo financial quiz app. Simple but effective.

Tech Stack i used:

  • PWA (progressive web apps) : applications that you build by using web technologies, and that can be installed and can run on all devices, from one codebase. PWAs provide native-like experiences to your users on supporting devices.

  • In short you can build an APP at once and can be used in any platforms (mac, linux, windows, Android, ios). Also no need to worry about publishing fee (It's completely free).

  • Next.js : For both frontend + Backend. It can be use for full-stack development. SEO friendly.

  • Supabase : To Store my app data. An SQL database.

This is how i created my first App for free and you can do the same.
