5. Fully automate the app building and store submission process
Until today, developers were burned with building and managing their Apps for the App Stores. it took the typical mobile developer nearly a month to learn how to properly build and submit apps to the stores. Then came version maintenance - every change in the stores or the platforms forced a change on every developer. Not anymore.

1. Make me the most valuable engineer in the room
As a coder for four decades, I have learned that becoming a full-stack engineer is not just about learning one more skill. It is about becoming the person in the room who can connect vision to execution. The more of the product you own, the more valuable you are to founders, teams, and clients who need builders, not specialists waiting on someone else.
From my experience, when you add the mobile experience to your backend coding, you gain leverage. You solve bigger problems, reduce bottlenecks, and create more opportunities for yourself. That is how you become the most valuable engineer in the room: by being the one who can turn ideas into real products from end to end.
Jinja.App is the culmination of my forty years of development, and my desire to bring mobile development skills to backend developers around the world, easily and at low cost. Thank you to everyone who is backing our campaign, and is helping us change the world, one script at a time.
