A question, from someone who used to start lots of projects, but now finds himself busy from all of those (some now quite successful) projects:
How much daily "mental load" does something like this take? Are you able to work on it when you want, and otherwise ignore? Any tips for starting a small project that doesn't require ongoing mental effort?
The fact that I'm not running a service does make it a lot better. But being somewhat of a perfectionist, I do stress out a lot when a user email me with a bug.
Being a user of the app myself reassure me that it's working and that even if there might be bugs, it's probably working well for the vast majority of folks.
