My talk is about building things that don't scale. It starts with wanting to use a specific app and then deciding to build your own app. Building something that scales requires thinking about various factors like analytics, monetization, SEO, expansion, localization, and competition. Building fun and non-scalable apps can also be enjoyable. Examples include an app for automatically cropping screenshots and a private chat app. The use of Expo Go as a launcher for Expo apps and hosting servers for auto-updates is discussed. The creation of a Google calendar synchronizer using Expo Development Builds is also mentioned. The final takeaways are to think small, have fun with libraries but avoid using too many, and stay away from the app store for as long as possible. Visit the speaker's website for more information.

We've been exploring avenues of monetization other than traditional advertising, and have raised a seed round to support our mission and growth.
