What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. It costs $108 a year. - You could make: Invoicing, expense tracking, reports and inventory: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: It plugs into other products, PayPal, Stripe and Braintree among them, and has an API.
