i heard of 3 guys that only finished the army (age 21) and they had an idea but 0 knowledge of developing, coding
so they went to a software house paid the 80k (about 22k $) and they did the app for them

now they have several offices in israel and there app is a big success,

the good way is pay for bot on the begin, get 5.000 - 10.000 later your app go to firsth page and u dont need more pay, only publish on anothers websites, amazon, appszoom etc.

this for example
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=vallow.text.reader&hl=pt_BR

we get 40k download fast, 5k bot later dont need more pay, u get downloads fast when u is on the firsth page of google play

u can get bots on the freelancer website, the bot download and make a good coment for u app like

I love this app
This app is very good

is for this many time u see a (shit) apps, with very good coments and downloads

Is that what you call design? gradient? graphics?

do you even think about user experience, transitions, continuity, easy of entering data?
do you even think b4a has the best tools to design a good app?
do you think selecting colors is that easy? do you care about contrast continuity?
do you care about typography? spacing? margins? emphasis?
...i can go on...

The ULV is a great tool, but it still doesnt design things for you. However the Animator is a brilliant addition to it, I dont know how Informatix thought of it.

I think I know what informatix could say.

He could say that manage the sort was complicated.
He might say that choosing a color is not important, indeed, he must allow the user to select it and write some code in the right place for this (knowing the properties).
etc.

My wife designed and drew everything in my new game. I will let you explain her than designing is easier than coding. Especially when you have a husband that pays a lot of attention to details. Each card below took hours to be done and they had sometimes a few versions before what you see. I could'nt imagine drawing one of them myself even after years of lessons.

i dont understand what you are taking about, in evey job there is a boss and employes
and the boss teach the employee the work and how to do it fast and good and still he stays the boss and the other stays the employee

what do you think are software companies does? stealing ideas from people? they work for them make there money (lot of money) thats it

i ask a company to convert my android app to ios they ask for 60k to 80k why should they steal your idea? they dont need to go to court with you they make enough money

trust in other people you cannot do everything alone in your live, if you give your car to repair do you check that the guy didnot cut your braking cable?? you trust him. right?

I was born in the country of Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Tintoretto, and of the greatest artists in the world.

So I do not underestimate the art and beauty.

But a beautiful Ferrari with the engine of a 500, with wooden wheels, with the transmission that transmits songs, I do not buy it.

no risk, no fun like we say but if the app was no success at all that would've been a nice debt. (7K/person)
