It’s very hard to manage your time as a nights and weekends project. You should consider it a skill of equal importance as coding/design/marketing.

I’ve written about it here: https://blog.cronitor.io/the-jit-startup-bb1a13381b0

The main takeaway:

"If you’re a software developer it’s especially tempting to justify spending more time on your software. You’ve worked with tangled messes of code in the past and suffered through others’ poor product choices. This is your chance to “do it right” from the beginning, but that’s a trap! Never write a line of code today that can be put off until tomorrow. Focus exclusively on the essentials, and handle everything else over a support channel."
