The lessons I've learned from all my programming projects are:
1. If the codebase would still work on a "dead platform", but you are targeting something new, you are chasing after hype, to some degree.
2. If the code involves significant data entry, you probably want to leverage a spreadsheet, because eventually you will want to edit something tabular and also make charts and reports. The things "dashboards" do are also very reasonable to do from inside a spreadsheet - make a tiny shim to pipe in some data, and then make the dashboard frontend using all the built-in goodies.
3. If the code is mostly about making custom UI, you are on the path to saleable application software, or at minimum, a tech demo that people will talk about.
