Lucas built an app in Paris that was growing steadily until one TikTok changed everything. The video brought in 5,000 new users, including 3,000 in a single day. Suddenly, his app was getting more attention than he ever expected, and his database was struggling to keep up.

Today, the app has over 14,000 users and handles around 40 bookings a day.

In this episode of App Minded, we talk about how Lucas built and launched his app, what happened when it went viral, the technical challenges of sudden growth, and what he's learned along the way.

If you're building your first app with AI, wondering how to find users, or trying to figure out what happens after launch, this conversation is for you.

In this solo Q&A episode of App Minded, I’m answering six of the questions I get most often about building apps with AI, from choosing what to build and which tools to use to what you actually need to learn and why I’ve chosen to build multiple apps.

00:52 Should I build a mobile app or a web app?

02:40 Should I build for iPhone, Android, or both?

05:47 Which platform should I use to build my app: Lovable, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Base44 or something else?

10:40 Do I need to know how to code before I start?

16:13 If I were building my first app again today, what would I do differently?

22:31 Why am I shipping multiple apps instead of sticking with one?

Along the way, I talk about why constantly switching tools can hold you back, what I think AI app builders should learn instead of obsessing over code, why architecture, databases and security matter, what shipping your first app teaches you, and what I’ve learned from building 12 apps in 12 months.
