As someone who has done it, a resounding yes. I build a product and sell it for more than it costs to make. It didn't take me 7 years like some are suggesting. I didn't solicite feedback from online wannabe entrepreneurs (sorry bu

GrapheneOS is/was very opinionated software. I use it on my both my daily and development devices, I understand why some people want to use CalyxOS or LineageOS forks for the flexibility they provide. GrapheneOS is security focused and

I'll give another vote for Expo, just a happy user here. I wrote and released an iOS and Android app a few years ago and used Expo for ease of cross platform and the hosted build system. I don't use all the fancy OTA updates and w
