Discussion on: How many unfinished projects do you have?

Hahah, from personal experience revisiting them over longer periods of time brings up another dilemma: an urge to rebuild them completely from the ground up using some new tech stack you have mastered, due to improvement in performance, etc. šŸ˜€šŸ˜€

It's especially appealing since you know all the working principles and the building blocks of an app, as you have already done an app once, meaning, depending on how proficient you are in the new stack, it would not take much time. šŸ˜€šŸ˜€

Very true. I have done that. If you rebuilt projects from scratch you can make them bigger, better, and stronger.

This is especially true for CRUD projects you are responsible for on a daily basis šŸ˜‰

You just don't want to drag some 'old' stack with you šŸ“‰ Instead you want to work and improve on your new stack. šŸ”„

This is really true. I had one project I did in vanilla JS, then moved it to Vuejs, then moved it to Mint, and is currently alive using Svelte! But, each move brought new items and expanded usability (It all runs in NW.js as a desktop program).
