Thanks for reading!

>But I spent five years on a solo app and never wrote anything close to this. Not on principle event, just the design just kept moving.

Yeah, I agree that for solo projects, it makes sense to greatly scale down the design phase. In a lot of cases, you'd scale design down to zero if you need user feedback to figure out what to build.

But even for solo projects, if I keep at it for months or years, I eventually get to the point where some problem is hard enough that I need to do some upfront design, even if it's not as formal as a whole design doc.
