I'm currently on this path, been developing/designing for the last year and a half, and will be launching my product relatively soon.
The issue I've been facing lately is self doubt. There's definitely a market, it solves a problem for that market and myself, and the product has shaped up to be something that I can be proud of and share/help with others. But there's this nagging contrasting feeling that's hard to describe, that could very well be fear of the unknown.
What's your experience been like developing a product that solves a problem ypu faced? What was your journey leading up to its release? How'd things work out after release?
A year and a half is too long to launch an MVP. If you can't do it within 3-4 months tops, you shouldn't do it (again, I'm talking about an MVP).
Self doubt creeps in when you work on something, perfecting it, but never shipping. The voice of doubt grows louder and louder because now there's more at stake.
For myself, the products that worked were the ones I shipped within < 1 month, and got a lot of user feedback and kept making the products better and better throughout the years.
