⚠️ Problem I Faced in a Live App
In a production app, users complained about slow app startup, even though the UI was simple.
The issue wasn’t design — it was unnecessary initialization at launch.
✅ How I Solved It
I optimized the startup flow by:
• Deferring non-critical API calls
• Lazy-loading heavy modules in Flutter
• Initializing backend services (Firebase / Node.js) only when needed
🚀 Result
✔ Faster app launch
✔ Better first impression
✔ Improved user retention
💡 Lesson: First impressions in apps are defined in the first 3 seconds.
