Great question! Most of the articles I read only focus on apps with multiple millions of users, but most software has a much smaller user base.
I assume that most things I build will only be used by me and a small group of users, and sometimes will also eventually be used by others. I generally only build tools that I use every day. For example:
- iCloud/Dropbox alternative macOS, iOS, and web app
- task management GTD macOS, iOS, and web app
- photos api for digital photo frames
- media management
Mostly built using go for backends and SwiftUI for macOS and iOS frontends.
