About the name, the original idea for the app was "Steve, your technical cofounder" (an allusion to Woz obviously). I will definitely think more about the name.

The trick used by SteveApp is to generate dynamic HTML views which have the ability to save the data over a standard server API. Dynamically generating a markup language is easier, and I think it can be done successfully with a software writing tool.

I have been trying for a year to launch a product that would make it easier for people to build web and mobile applications without coding. This is my second attempt. Upload your HTML design files and Steve will transform them instantly into full featured applications. Please take a look at the demo and let me know what you think.

I built it in two weeks with AngularJS and a Node backend.

I have a somewhat similar lifestyle despite being unprivileged (I am black and from one of the poorest countries in the World). I think it's just a way of life that one builds over time. I know plenty of people here who worry too much about things like latest clothes, furnitures, owning a house and other commodities which clutter their life and make them spend more money than they can possibly make. I have always tried to live only on the minimum, I started my programming carrier without even owning a computer and now I make a pretty decent living (even by western standards). I would have never done it if I accumulated sh*t. I think things would be so much better around the World (in the developing as well as the developed World) if people just removed the clutter.

I thought the Lean Startup was based on customer development... These "founders" are doing it wrong.

When you want to build the next big thing, to change the World, etc., not simply to gain some income, building a high growth / high stress startup may be necessary.
