I don't think it's generally helpful to keep a backlog of something one is building by oneself. The reason is that a solo developer is able to hold in their short term memory what they are working on now and what needs to be done after. Backlog is good when multiple developers are working on a project because it can make tasks assignable and prevent overlap of work. But in a solo endeavor, keeping a backlog tend to become a mere formality that slows one down. I guess my claim depends on the complexity of the project, but I think complexity of project that one developer can handle might be limited such that keeping a backlog is not really worth the effort.
