Module 2: Making It Real
Welcome to Module 2. Your app is live. Now you'll make it actually good — handling feedback, managing costs, designing for real users, and knowing when to stop building.
What You'll Learn
This module is about the difference between "it works" and "it works well." You'll take the app you built in Module 1 and refine it based on how real people (including you) actually use it.
Lesson Breakdown
| Lesson | Topic | What You'll Do |
|---|---|---|
| 2.1 | Real-World Iteration | Take feedback and improve without overbuilding |
| 2.2 | Storage, Costs, and Free Tiers | Handle storage without breaking the bank |
| 2.3 | Designing for Your User | Make your app work for busy people |
| 2.4 | Maintaining and Evolving | Handle bugs, add features, know when to stop |
