acceptable MVP, with the basic functionality working as expected. One thing I&amp;rsquo;ve found
with doing this project is how much I hate doing frontend work, and how much it drains
my excitement to develop my side projects.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I had a plan in mind to combat this, one of which is obvious the other not so much.
First and foremost, stop the need for making everything perfect. I can&amp;rsquo;t stress enough
how much time I sank into trying to make something look perfect on the page, be it size
of buttons or positioning (my worst nightmare). This is a given but apparently my brain
doesn&amp;rsquo;t work rationally 😶‍🌫️.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
