It's possible you could just be looking for someone to motivate you. If that's the case, I'm in a similar boat, got a project, but I get lazy sometimes, I could use feedback to help me go forward but I can't find anyone to even look at my work.

Because the input variables are so different depending on your personal circumstances. Depending on how clever you accountant/tax professional is, you could be paying a very different amount in taxes/interest.

I might have misunderstood your question, as you didn't say which apps and how they suck. Then you start talking about UI and I get lost.

https://www.zipbash.com social network based on zipcodes. I was thinking it could be alternative to nextdoor where you can't post outside of your neighborhood. I also made registration optional, so you can post and comment anonymously. Also wanted to test out if people would pay $1/month for premium features I'd make in the future (private messaging...).

Anyway, most feedback I got was negative, so that's depressing. Maybe if I got proper feedback I could modify it for better.

I'm still working on it, there's a big change coming, not sure the outcome will be. Hopes.

Honestly I don't know. I've been working on an ambitious project for the last 6 months fighting procrastination. Working all by myself, sometimes showing my progress to friends and family, but no one really cares. I could really use someones input, no matter what kind, just need someone to tell me it's good or it sucks. No one cares. So I just keep going, money is running out, new bugs keep showing up, I patch them. Hopefully when I release it will get traction because I honestly don't want to rejoin the work force.

I suck at CSS but I'm the only one working on my project, so I have no choice but to get good at it. I know I was writing bad CSS, so what I did was google videos recorded at conferences where they talked about refactoring CSS. Refactoring CSS is not exactly basics, but it helps you understand potential problems that arise from writing bad CSS so you know how to deal with it in the future or prevent the issues in the first place.

Well, actually it's more like there are not that many average people. Let me explain...

When you hear that an average family earns $50k/year, what (I think) is really happening is that many earn under $25k and few earn over 100k.

I think same thing applies to individual people.

I used to work as CNC machinist, and most of my coworkers were either really good or ok enough to not get fired.

I as a developer now feel I'm below average, and I've met many like myself. Then there are really good devs out there I get inspired by.

Just my 2c.
