Making something that is really good can feel like death by a thousand cuts sometimes. It's easy to fool yourself into thinking something will be a lot easier than it will be too. This site is a good example. I'm sure I could make a basic functional clone in a few hours, but there'd be dozens of (important) details I'd miss. And that's just copying something. Creating something new means you have to figure out all those details and there's really no shortcut. The best you can do is to keep things as absolutely minimal as possible.
