Primarily a lack of time, but also a lack of focus. I’ve never found one single project that fulfils everything I’m looking for, so am currently dividing what time I have between two:
- A website about video games that I love to work on - but which has a niche audience and is ultimately quite frivolous.
- A programming language implementation which could provide significant value to its future users - but building it is frustrating and not always interesting.
There is some crossover of skills and knowledge between the two projects, but at the moment they’re both progressing very slowly.
I’m also losing time to analysis paralysis - should I stop working on one of them? Which one? (Might I find a purpose in games, or a passion for languages?) Or should I carry on trying to progress both?
- jkcorrea 6y agoHave a similar situation myself.. strategy-wise a niche audience sounds more attractive than a potentially-big-but-vague market. But looking at my own setup, I'm much more attracted to working on my grand-vision low-code app builder tool that has an undefined market than I am to a niche b2c business that's actually making (minimal) profit. Conventional wisdom in startup land is to focus on one thing, but I find myself disagreeing with that notion and kinda want it all ;)
