The question, “How do I build my own Web app?”, is a difficult one. It seems like everyone has their own answers. Engineering teams often have their own ways of developing and deploying Web apps. What if you’re trying to get started on your own without much previous experience? You can use software-as-a-service resources like Squarespace or Wix. But what if you want to make your truly own thing from scratch? Nowadays there are so many options. This article is for helping you get started the way that I did.

I’ll be discussing everything I used to make a simple doorbell Web app designed for an iPad. The app has a doorbell button that, when clicked, sends a Slack message saying that someone has arrived and then temporarily goes to another screen that says that someone will be greeting you soon. Then it goes back to the doorbell button screen, ready for another visitor.
