Went from 10 issues to 100 in a matter of days. Classic pre-launch disaster.
I was genuinely confident about my bugs list. Had maybe 10 known issues, everything felt manageable. Launch felt close.
Then I started showing it to potential customers.
That 10 became 100. Fast.
Not just new bugs , new categories of problems I hadn't even thought about. UI flows that made zero sense to real users. Edge cases I'd never hit. Onboarding moments that felt obvious to me and completely alien to everyone else.
And then the thing I really didn't expect: perfectionism started creeping in.
Every new issue I found made me want to fix everything before anyone else saw it. Every rough edge felt embarrassing. I kept telling myself "just one more fix" before calling it ready. The goalposts kept moving and I kept letting them.
The frustrating part? The idea is genuinely validated. There are hundreds of tools already working in this space and people are paying for this problem to be solved. The market exists. The demand exists.
But here I am, drowning in a task board.
Has anyone else been here? How do you actually decide "good enough to ship"? Because right now I genuinely can't tell if I'm being responsible or just scared.
