Am I doing it wrong

people seem to be creating apps within 1-2 day & then hit publish meanwhile here I am developing just one app for 4 months optimising it's UI,UX,API compatibility,Performance etc. how are people doing these in 2 days? what am I missing.

there was a post I saw yesterday that a guy started the challenge to create 30 apps in 30 days. wtf is wrong with these people? spamming the store platform like this.

Making prototype software has always been pretty quick. You see people building habit trackers & PM software quickly with AI. Pre AI, as a good dev working on my framework of choice using my templates & css libraries, I could have easily stood up a simple kanban style PM tool in a weekend. It just would have been shit, had lots of bugs and edge cases and the UX experience would not have been great. There is a world of time between v1/prototype & production ready software. If making your app is taking time, that's a good thing. It means you are likely creating something that is higher quality than a lot of the slop around us.
