I also started one of these several years ago and I have only implemented about half of the features on my todo list so far.

But I have many features working and each one feels like a victory when it gets working properly. Each time I find a few hours to work on it, I pick a task that I think I can complete within a day or two.

It feels like trying to climb a big mountain. You don't keep looking at the summit and feel overwhelmed because it seems so far away. Instead you look at the next milestone, which may be a rock just a few hundred feet away. When you reach it, you take a deep breath and pick the next target to work towards.

I love that! Climbing a mountain would be such an arduous task, impossible even! But taking another small step can be fun and easy. Keep having fun, and if you find yourself at the very top, look for another mountain.

Yep that makes a lot of sense.

As long as I can see the parts working, the endeavour feels fun and gradually everything starts looking better - as the product gets "denser".
