#7 - Data driven web apps (who doesn't have one these days?) can do a million things (probably an understatement) but the key is to do a few things really well. Write down the features you want (what you want your app to do) and then cut it in half - than cut it in half again - than identify the three hardest features left and cut one of those - and than you probably have a lightweight app that will get off the ground so you can work to stay off the ground.
