I like it, except for the part about "refactor later" in my mind the best way is refactor "first" so that adding your feature is "easy"...though I don't always follow my own advice with hobby projects LOL. Don't let technical debt subsume you, though, fight back eventually.

I do like the part about focusing on "the next feature for your customer" though, customer centric can take you far, that's good...most/many hobby projects focus on only the next "feature for me" and never get around the marketing/polishing side of things, whereas focusing on customer-ish stuff encourages the latter, the latter being 80% of success typically overall (or get a partner to do that part, the common successful way there...)
