Build production level apps. Could be any app idea you like, or just pick something that will challenge your current knowledge and skills and force you to improve.
Nobody forced them to quit the UK, there are no laws saying they can't operate in the UK. So what legal reasons?
"We have been clear that exiting the UK does not allow an organisation to avoid responsibility for any prior infringement of data protection law".
They are not going to avoid paying the fines for previous infringements anyway, so it's not really a financial decision, unless they're just being stupid.
I find it strange that Imgur did not provide any reason for the withdrawal themselves, which is probably because they are trying to hide something, which can't be good.
"The ICO launched its investigation into Imgur in March - saying it would probe whether the companies were complying with both the UK's data protection laws, and the children's code.".

Something that can handle heavy loads, e.g. thousands or millions of people accessing and using the app at the same time. Handling gigabytes or even terabytes of data without crashing.
Something that can easily scale to meet new demands.
Something that is secure, and won't be hacked immediately.
Something that is thoroughly tested, polished and has no showstopper or major bugs, ideally no known bugs at all.
But it all really depends on the app you're building. Offline apps are different to web apps and have different non-functional requirements. But generally, yes, it has to be good enough to be deployed and used by the military, if you prefer the term "military grade".
