The first 80%? Challenging but exciting. I loved every moment. The last 20%? Absolute chaos.
I’m at that stage where the finish line is in sight, but every step feels like dragging a boulder uphill.
It’s not just about fixing bugs or polishing features anymore. It’s: • Second-guessing every decision I made in the first 80%. • Realizing that “almost done” isn’t done at all. • Trying to perfect the UI, squash bugs, and make everything seamless—only to find new issues popping up like whack-a-mole. • Constantly wondering if this app is actually good enough for people to use.
The mental strain is real. I’ve hit roadblocks I didn’t even know existed. Some days, it feels like I’m moving backward instead of forward. And the worst part? The pressure I put on myself to “just finish it” is making it harder to focus.
To anyone else grinding through the final stretch of their app or project—how do you push through this phase without losing your sanity? I could really use some advice or encouragement right now!
