So I’ve been making a dating app on and off since about March. My initial deadline I think was end of June but I feel I’m only 50% of the way done. I’m making a dating app that is kinda a spiritual successor to OkCupid so it asks you several important questions to get started, and I am now on my 4th iteration of this questions stuff.

Essentially it goes like this: I grind away on a thing, finish it, and then immediately go “This is gonna bite me in the ass later if I don’t fix this now”. So I fix it now. While that is probably good practice, it’s holding things up.

So where do you guys draw the line? When your building an MVP, and you know what you just did is sloppy and won’t scale, what do you do? Do you leave it knowing it will be a headache later when integrating everything or fix it now and take longer on your MVP. (Also how many of you add unit tests cause I know I should be making Jest tests but I just haven’t yet lol)
