I stopped posting for a while because college exams took most of my time.
Before exams, I had been building Aniotako, a personal anime tracker with watchlists, episode notifications, and airing schedules.
Once exams were over, I jumped back into the project, but things kept breaking. I spent more time fixing problems than building new features, and after enough frustration I put the project aside for a little over 10 days.
Yesterday I opened it again.
The code didn't magically become easier, but taking a break changed how I looked at the problems. I started making progress again instead of feeling stuck.
I'm curious how other developers handle this. When a project starts fighting you every day, do you keep pushing through or do you step away for a while?
