It's better to do things the wrong way rather than not doing them at all.

Jump into it. If whatever you build is successful (under whatever metrics that may apply), you can always consider some refactoring once you know better.

Definitely, and that's what I meant by getting frustrated and just wanting to get started.

I've got a product out the door now, this wouldn't be the case if I didn't start sooner.

I've been a developer for a while, I've learned to push through and realise that it wont always be the best the first time around (especially with new software). I've already learned a lot just building the iOS version, so the next app I decide to make would be better. Rinse repeat :)
