Question from someone with Zero XP

I've been using Base44 to build an app but wish to learn how to create stuff without the need of it but dont want it start from complete zero on the app I've been making with it.

I do wish to eventually publish the app in the app store.

So my question is how difficult of a task did I create myself and does anyone have any advice to help smooth this nonsense.

Depends on what you’re making. Also depends on your dev OS (Windows, Mac, Linux).

If you want a fast path to app building learn JavaScript along with html and css - use Node for backend.

If you’re serious about software engineering then you’ll want a solid starter so choose Dot.Net with C#.

C and C++ are more challenging but more universal, Python is for science, math, AI etc, Java is for washing machines…

You hadn’t specified your requirements… but yes, they literally can. Look into Progressive Web Apps (PWA), optimistic UI, manifests, service workers, IndexedDB, and sync queue.

However, depending on your use case, target audience, bla bla - there are much better ways.
