I'm almost at the point of launching my project -- in point 2, but I cut a lot -- and the things I'm most worried about are:
1. Once it's up and people actually use it, I have to be much more careful about uptime, monitoring, and changing how data is stored. This is by far the scariest thing.
2. Handling a large temporary spike in load when I publish the URL here or elsewhere
3. How -- if I actually knew what I wanted to charge for -- to integrate payment into the application, and what I'm supposed to do tax-wise with the money I'd get.

If it's any help, I survived getting to #4 on the reddit home page with a Django app that used middleware caching for anonymous users on a 2GB Slicehost slice. 3. Incorporate as a business, avoid processing credit cards at first (use PayPal, Amazon, Google, etc.). If you make money now, you have until next tax year to worry about the accounting stuff. Another good problem to have.
