Yes I do. I've tried sitting down to work but never get past formatting my code.

My main worry is that nobody else will want my software, and even if they did I wouldn't know how to price it, market it, and sell it. All I really know is to code, even if it just barely passes programming convention and security checks.

I envision so much for what I'm doing, but I have no idea how to get there.

This isn't exactly something you are facing in isolation.

I think a majority of people who write code and want to be tech entrepreneurs face this.

I myself call it: "Build it and they will not come".

I think I will dedicate a blog post to this issue and I will try to use some methods to resolve this issue.

Mainly though, from a philosophy I learnt from a career coder: I'm building it for myself to use or just for the sake of it

The above is a great way to churn out 'dumb' projects purely for the sake of building them out. Carry that momentum to the startup, if it fails, it fails.

This also makes me wonder about the mantra of some people in tech circles urging founders to "fall in love" with their startup.

This is actually a very interesting discussion. Kudos to you for being brave enough to admit that: I like to code but I just don't know what the fuck I am doing anymore.

You could try spending some time filling in your knowledge gaps. If you're not sure how to price, market it and sell it then try stepping away from the code and start watching presentations or reading posts on those topics.

This way you can take a break from your usual routine, learn something new that will probably help you in the long run and then when you have other app ideas you'll have the knowledge to program and market it.

I'd suggest shipping something soon. Give yourself a deadline of a week or so to get something, anything out the door and in someone's hand. Any little feedback you get early on will be invaluable and validate/ realign your mission.

It doesn't even have to be all fancy and coded up. Any little thing would do once it demonstrates your idea.
