Based on your question and description, it seems that you already burned your fingers by going to a 3rd party for development. If you are willing to learn and put in the hours, you have two options: Learning to code and engage in DIY projects is like starting from scratch. It's important to understand that it's not just about coding; it's also about IT infrastructure. Many people often suggest "buying a TikTok clone" or simply "learning to code." However, coding and building your own software account for only 25% of the work. The remaining 75% involves tasks such as managing servers, ensuring security, and performing updates, which can be quite cumbersome. I recommend using a No-Code platform that is pre-built and requires minimal configuration, as this will save you time. Using No-Code Platforms - Again in this category, there are quite a few app builders like bubble.io out there that you can use to turn your idea into a concept; however, since you specifically need a TikTok-like app, I recommend you check out Muvi Shorts - https://www.muvi.com/one/minis-short-videos/ Muvi Shorts is a no-code, ready-to-deploy platform it comes with all the bells and whistles you need to launch a service or platform like Reels, Shorts, or TikTok. Plus, they provide hosting, servers, and security as well, so you can scale your app and spend time on content and marketing and not on coding and IT infrastructure.
