Start messing around and putting together what seems to be the basic stuff, start getting lost in all things you found you don't yet know, decide that you need a different stack, rewrite everything, spend a month getting authentication down, write those user stories in the meanwhile because smart people told you so, get completely overwhelmed, continue working on three different things at a time because they are all connected to one story, get some people on your team, change half of the stack again, write down all specifications, let some test users in, fix bugs for a month, rewrite half of the code............ in a year you will be far from a junior developer, that's for sure. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Good luck! :)
