About App Minded.
App Minded is a podcast about building, launching, growing and monetizing apps in the age of AI. It is hosted by Nina Kolari.
What the podcast is about
Every episode is a conversation with someone who has actually shipped something: app founders, builders, developers, marketers, growth people and monetization experts. They share real experience and practical lessons — how they built the app, which AI tools they used, how they got through App Store review, how they found their first users, what they charge, and what they'd do differently.
A lot of the guests are vibe coders: people building real products with AI without a traditional coding background. That's the thread running through the show — app development is open to far more people than it was two years ago, and the fastest way to learn it is to hear from people in the middle of doing it.
Recurring subjects include building apps with AI, vibe coding, App Store launches, app marketing and growth, app monetization and pricing, reviews and retention, and the everyday reality of shipping a product on your own. Browse all episodes.

Who hosts it: Nina Kolari
App Minded is hosted by Nina Kolari, an award-winning AI app builder and vibe coding educator who has shipped 11 apps using AI-assisted development. She spent 17 years in digital growth and has no coding background. She started building apps in August 2025 and hasn't stopped since — with wins at the Cursor Hackathon and the Luni Innovation Award.
App Minded is the show she wanted when she was starting out: heavy on the how, light on the theory.
Who it's for
People building apps right now, or about to start: indie makers, non-technical founders, designers, marketers and anyone curious about how AI has changed what one person can ship.
