Hi! I'm a high schooler with limited app dev experience and I want to publish an app related to calligraphy/mental health on the App Store with the apple developer license I won at a hackathon. The problem is I have no idea how to get started and how to actually market it well. Also my app is going to use computer vision also so I'm not sure is the Swift language/ Xcode platform is adequate for that. Also I want to reach out to Calligraphy pen brands as potential sponsors (but this is prob going to be a LATER thing but yea this is my plan).. I don't really care if those brands pay me or not I just wanna reach my app to the most users I can

I'm a hs sophomore and I've been wanting to major in cs (or something related) and eventually get into entrepreneurship. I think the ecs I have are pretty good so far but the thing is idk what narrative or spike im tryna build with them. On one hand I have patent pending innovations I've done and gotten recognized for at my states' capitol by the state rep and published ai research and won an award from someone from the iarc W.H.O (tryna keep it vague) and on the other hand im working on launching a startup and develop an app related to calligraphy (which is something I truly enjoy doing)

Most ppl ive seen getting into stanford (which is what im aiming for) and other t20s have a very clear persona: debater, researcher, entrepreneur, olympiad kid

I genuinely don't know what i'd fall under. the activities I was just doing was bc I was rlly interested in them and was just trying things out that were related to my interests.. my main spikes that I recognized for myself are entrepreneurship/stem (cs) with an interest in calligraphy but again those are such broad topic that can cohesively go together if I put it that way but I dont know how to.. I've also heard that by the end of ur application the ao should be able to describe u by one word or phrase. and again I dont know what my application is going to look like when they see it

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I'm a female btw (for context)

For those y'all that built and published apps as high schoolers, what was your process and how did you promote it?
