PrajwalTomar published "I Rebuilt a $13M App Without Opening Xcode," deconstructing a quit-drinking app reportedly making $13M/year that is structurally just a streak counter, milestone screens, and a paywall. He rebuilt it in a day without opening Xcode: RevenueCat payments, Apple auth, full database, edge cases handled — and says the workflow produces the fewest errors he's seen. His take: everyone builds web apps; mobile is wide open. Full playbook in the article.
