Getting it to do stuff (e.g. offering features beyond showing text, pictures & videos) will take a couple months. This is assuming you take on learning as a serious–but part time–endeavour.

That might seem like a lot of work. However, it will take far more than a couple month’s worth of time to find a technical cofounder if you don’t already know people. And it will take more than a couple month’s savings to pay someone else to get you through that first bit.

If you’re sincere about getting into startups, start learning to code today. It will pay dividends.
