> side-projects to me is they often start as "itches" that I scratch by developing something for my use. The something may be useful to others. However, to make it useful to others requires 10x the amount of effort to "productize" it

This mentality provided a breakthrough for me and has helped me follow through on a side project that I'm now using daily. I don't care at all whether it makes sense for other people. I know what all the buttons/fields/etc are for and it's serving its purpose for me.
