App Minded — a podcast on building & marketing apps.
How people build, launch, grow and monetize apps with AI. Real app builders and founders — many of them vibe coders — on what worked, what failed and how they shipped. Hosted by AI app builder Nina Kolari.
What you get
A backstage pass to how modern apps really get built.
Every episode is a real conversation with someone shipping right now — app founders, indie makers, developers, growth and monetization people. How they built the app with AI, got it through App Store review, found users and made money from it. Heavy on the "how", light on the theory.
Building apps with AI
Vibe coding, prompt-by-prompt builds and real launch stories from people with no coding background. Nina's vibe coding resources.
App marketing & growth
Concrete tactics for App Store visibility, first users and growth — without burning a budget.
Monetization & honest talk
Pricing, subscriptions, reviews, momentum and burnout — the parts nobody puts on a slide deck.

App Minded is the show Nina wanted when she was starting out. Real conversations with people in the middle of building — what they tried, what flopped, what they'd do differently. Heavy on the how, light on the theory. More about the podcast and Nina.
