Reading this I realized the same mistake that I made.
It's because we focus on a product that
1. need lot of front-end works
2. target a user-base that need a lot of onboarding
I have a side project that I worked on in 10 years and still doing nothing...Its scope is too big and because It requires some kind of front-end works, which isn't my strong suite, it becomes a constant battle to say what should I do, how should I make UI/UX intuitive.
Then after I sitting down after 10 years(and still have nothing to show), I leanrn about 1) and 2).
Then I think in order for me to move forward when I have a day job, I have to focus on something that require zero or very little front-end works and can easily self onboarding.
I did that idea. And something I think I can finished in 2 weeks ended up taking me 3 months and still not 100% polished but at least I have finally launch it and have my first paid customers
So my advice to anyone is to find something that requires minimal front-end works can can easily on-board new users.
