Let me add this - I'll bet you're a lot less than 80% of the way. When you get non-technical people to use your app you'll find that they don't understand, they do things you don't understand, and you'll end up in despair thinking "Why are people so stupid?!? Then you'll have to redesign the way it works so they don't di the stupid things, and then you'll realise that what they did made much more sense, so you should make it work differently anyway.
Realise now that this is the case and you can throw yourself into the work with enthusiasm, rather than despairing at the stupidity of "damn users". It's users you need, and they are (almost) always (nearly) right.
