SkillPath

Inspiration

I've always believed that hobbies are undervalued. People spend hundreds of hours practicing drawing, writing, music, or photography — but never make the leap to earning from it. Not because they lack talent, but because they don't know when they're ready or where to start.

That gap inspired SkillPath: a tool that doesn't just track your practice — it guides you toward monetization.

What I Built

SkillPath is a hobby progress tracker with a clear three-stage path: 📈 Practice → 🖼️ Portfolio → 💰 Monetize

Users can:

• Track multiple hobbies simultaneously with custom metrics
• Build a portfolio of finished works with status tracking
• See a Readiness Score that tells them exactly when they're ready to start earning
• Discover the best platforms to monetize each specific hobby
• Get personalized advice from an AI Hobby Coach

How I Built It I built SkillPath entirely with MeDo — no code written manually.

The process was iterative:

1. Started with a detailed requirements document covering all features, business logic, and edge cases
2. Generated the base app with a single prompt
3. Refined through multi-turn chat — adding monetization logic, Readiness Score formula, AI Coach, animations, and polish
4. Deployed directly from MeDo

Challenges

• Balancing complexity vs. usability — the app has three distinct modules but needed to feel simple for a first-time user. Solved with the onboarding screen and clear tab structure.
• Making monetization feel real — generic platform lists aren't useful. Added realistic earning estimates and hobby-specific actionable tips to make it genuinely helpful.
• AI Coach personalization — getting the coach to reference actual user data (sessions logged, works in portfolio, Readiness Score) required careful context passing in the prompt.

What I Learned

• No-code tools like MeDo can produce surprisingly deep product logic when given precise, structured requirements
• The best prompts are not instructions — they are product specifications
• A clear unique value proposition ("not just a tracker — a path to income") makes every design decision easier
