We went through a very similar phase for our startup which is also about developing iPhone/desktop/web apps. We have a lot of shiny features in our apps like syncing across platforms, real time percentile scores, meetup features, turning the iPhone screen into a scratch paper etc., most of which are useful but given the fact that we were bootstrapping, got us into a deeper and deeper hole. If we wouldn't have found an awesome developer we would have to end our startup too. Good luck for your future endeavors. You have learnt a lot from this. Don't be disappointed and keep trying.

Appreciate that. I am already in the process of trying again. I think I also found an awesome developer to help out but I just directed him the wrong way. The problem was I didn't find a co-founder, a person that could share the business and funding responsibilities with me. Why..? I don't know. There were one or two people that came close but I knew I wouldn't work well with them. It's very important to work well with whoever you partner with of course. Ironically the people I felt I could work well with didn't really fit the bill in terms of programming ability or skill sets...
