Still remember vividly, myself coding for some resume creation site in hospital's waiting room while my wife was doing her prenatal exercise. I was working on this site for 6 months by then but it was no where close to being ready for release in the wild! And unfortunately i was responsible for keeping it that way, like working on Jira like site so that i can create new bugs/improvement tickets easily and wasting one week behind it or pushing to create better UI and kept on delaying the release till Feb 2017, when my son was born and i don't remember working on this site for next 2 years. In 2 years, I not only lost the momentum but also the interest to continue! Its been 4.5 years since i first started with this idea and this site is lying somewhere on my private repository. I no longer even wish to publish it!
Fast forward to Nov 2020, saw my wife who is very active on Instagram managing her hashtags in keep by creating multiple notes and then copy pasting it. There i got the idea of save tags. A website where you can categorize tags and then select them based on your post. Main reason for creating was just to create something but i still wanted it to be prefect but i learnt from last experience, so this time i just created site, wrote some tests for back-end, decent UI (i am back-end dev so i just used Bootstap and google), use only google oauth (last time i setup google, facebook, twitter and github) and good to go. I sent it to couple of friends but no one gave any feedback ☹️ something to keep in mind for next time. This site is created just for fun and not with intention on making business out of it so give it a try and share your feedback.
Perfect product do not exist! Close to perfection takes time and good enough is okay for the most and you get valuable feedback which helps to shape product. In case you have half baked product try to release it as soon as possible.

Lastly, please checkout https://save-tags.com
I have taken down the site after running it for 3-4 months. But point of the post was, If you create something release it once you think it's good enough! You might never achieve the perfection you are looking for.
