| | My life circumstances have changed and I have 2 years to establish a lucrative remote solopreneur side gig. Assume that the technical proficiency/learning curve is the same, all things being equal, would you bet on web apps (like a SaaS), mobile apps, or something else entirely? I know it won’t be easy no matter what I pick. I also know that it would be better to pick the idea first and then the technology, but having to study one or the other, which one is more likely to serve me well. My naive understanding is that web apps can make more money but they are harder to monetize. Mobile apps can make some money more easily as they are part of a marketplace, but it’s hard to make 150k a year from them. What would you recommend me? |

That being said, I think mobile apps come with different challenges regarding distribution, conversion, etc. Also, the learning curve is definitely steeper in my opinion. Learn the web techs (JS, HTML, CSS) and you will be able to build nearly anything you want, front-end (websites, web apps, hybrid mobile apps) and back-end.
