🧩 Always Building, Rarely Shipping

I've been building apps for a long time. My first one went live in 2016. With that much time behind me, you'd expect I'd have a bunch of apps out there by now - at least a couple that feel mature. But the truth is, I only have one live app today. Just one. 🥲

I've been trying to understand why.

I'm someone who gets ideas constantly. Every time I use an app, my brain starts spinning: If this was mine, I'd change this, fix that, improve this bit. And every month, I come up with a handful of ideas that feel worth building. 💡

The problem? Most of them never make it out of my head.

Sometimes I sketch the idea and it immediately disappoints me. Sometimes I start building and then get a “better” idea halfway through. Sometimes I just lose conviction because the new idea feels more exciting than the one I'm already working on. 🤦‍♂️

End result: lots of starts, almost no finishes.

It's frustrating. And honestly, I'm tired of being stuck in that loop. I don't want to keep waiting for the “perfect” idea or the “perfect” design. I just want to build and ship. Even if nobody uses it. Even if it's rough. Even if it goes nowhere. 🚀

At worst, I learn something. At best, I finally put more of my work out into the world.

So I'm breaking the cycle. I've already started. I'm not sure how I'll tackle everything that causes me to stall - but at least I'm moving. I want to publish more, experiment more, and stop throwing away ideas just because they don't feel perfect on day one. 🔄

Wish me luck. I think I'm finally ready to show up. 🙂
