I have a side project that I've been working on for more than 2 years already, and it still hasn't reached the point where I'm ready to show it to people.
What I find useful to do when I get stuck with some problem that I don't have the time or the patience to solve, is to leave it alone and just let my subconscious continue digesting the issues. A few days, weeks or months later, the solution would spontaneously reveal itself, and with it new drive and inspiration will fill me, and then I'll dive right back to the work.
I've also had other side projects that I pursued for a while and then abandoned because I had other more pressing or interesting stuff to work on. They're still there on GitHub if I ever feel like revisiting them.
In other words, don't worry about it. Sometimes it fizzles out, sometimes it sustains itself.
