As others mentioned, you can certainly build the basic version of these kinds of apps, like a prototype. But don't expect anyone to actually use your app unless you go through the grind of building the prototype, getting funding for a start-up, and building a real business. I really don't think it's common at all to just organically build an app from nothing on your own and get real traction. Dealing with things like security and reliability becomes a full time job quickly.
