New Developer (well kinda).

[IrRevd]

I've signed up to be a WP developer and planning on making my first app (a mini ambition of mine).

Is there any tips or warnings that the community can give to a newb who is probably out of his depth?

I am not going to write a lot here , but the most important thing, please please stick to the Modern UI.

My personal policy is to spend ~70% time designing my app for the best possible UX and UI and the rest 30% for development. Developing stuff is easy, designing apps that people want to use regularly is difficult.
Taking inspiration from the top WP apps is the way I went. Evidently I too am just 2 months old into WP dev.
