It sounds like you no longer see value in the work. What were your original motivations and goals? How have they changed? From a distance, it's easy to guess that you're not confident the project will be useful to anyone. If that's true, it would make sense that you're demotivated--nobody likes doing work that isn't useful to themselves or others. If the goal was simply to learn and stay sharp, then perhaps an incomplete project is a success——you did some coding, and learned something about what motivates you. If the goal was more specific, then perhaps you've (subconsciously) re-evaluated the requirements for success, and it no longer feels achievable or worth the effort. I could be wrong, of course, but this sounds less like a problem of technical ability than one of deepening your understanding of your own motivation. If that sounds right, maybe check out https://x.com/scottdomes — I like his writing about how to identify what you want and why. |

Even if this project is not valuable to anyone, shipping in its current form or some semblance of it means that it can be iterated on and improved. There are very few projects that are overnight successes on initial release. Better to try and test interest with something tangible and to try and iterate.
