Discuss HN: Small App vs Big App
2 comments
I think it really depends on the idea. Sometimes it is good to write it over the weekend, release it, and see what up. Now if you are building a more interesting service, I would go for the two months. Sorry, but if I don't know the app, I cant tell!
it depends how much risk you want to take with your free time :)
nothing is guaranteed. neither your small or big project is guaranteed to earn a cent. so all it comes down to is how much of your time are you willing to give up and how enthusiastic are you about each idea.
I will say this though - I spent about 6 months doing a "big" side project and now I'm working on a couple of smaller projects, for fun. The big project can sit in the background earning income, giving you more free time to experiment.

Is it better to create a quick app (a weekend of coding) and start making small but quick income or would you rather spend a month or two building something bigger in order to have a larger income but might take longer.
Lets say you already have a full time job and this will be just a side income.
