I am interested in building an app for my friend. Do not worry - I am not hoping to become the world's next Mark Zuckerberg/Bill Gates from this app, but I just want to gift my friend something funny and hopefully useful.
I would like to create a personalized app where my friend can keep count of the number of days in a row he has/has not smoked weed. I would also like to be able to see his progress and reward him with little prizes every time he manages a streak. I have followed some app building tutorials on youtube (the ones that are 3 hours long and help you set up your code editor in the beginning and teach you to create buttons) but I have not found them helpful in understanding how to create my own app.
I am using VScode and am planning on using React to build my app (my friend's phone is an iPhone but my laptop runs on Linux). I have taken half of a Introduction to Computer Science course. I have no idea what it would take for me to build this app. I feel very blind in this territory and have no idea what it would take to make this app a reality and how much knowledge I would have to gain in order to be able to build this app myself. Any guidance that you could give me would be very much appreciated.
