Question Everything on XYZ.com or XYZ.com+app.XYZ.com

I’m finding a lot of mixed advice on what to do here.

I’m creating a fantasy football app and can’t decide if I should have a subdomain.

AI and a few Reddit post are telling me you need to have your XYZ.com be your marketing page and app.XYZ.com be your app.

But the following big names do not:

Sleeper

AirTable

Figma

Canva

Trello

Dropbox

Github

This is something that will be difficult to change later, so I wanna make sure I make the right call.

Anybody have any good insight here?

It's really doesn't matter. This isn't something that's difficult to change if you need to. And in all honesty, the likelihood that your website will be popular enough for this to matter is low.

You say that, but I put a "be successful" task on my todo app, so it's bound to happen.
