Building Projects: What's your favorite phase?

Question

When it comes to building a new project or product, there are so many phases and facets – from ideation to design, coding, testing, and finally launching it into the wild. Out of curiosity, which part of the project-building journey do you find the most fulfilling and enjoyable? And why?

Dávid Sipos · Accepted Answer

For me, it's undoubtedly the coding phase that I find most fulfilling. There's something magical about taking an abstract idea and turning it into a tangible, functioning product through lines of code. Whenever I type out functions, classes, or even debugging, it feels like I'm piecing together a digital puzzle. The immediate feedback loop—writing code and then seeing it in action—is immensely satisfying. While all the other phases have their charm, nothing beats the thrill and challenges of coding for me. It's where the magic truly happens!

@david_sipos The part where I can create a procedure for an existing problem (even with A.I), on the Backend side of course. ;)

Every phase of building is exciting to me as it's fascinating to see an idea taking a proper shape! 🎯

Answer

Ideation for me.

People never stop surprising us, and it's amazing how different minds can come up together with loads of ideas for one project. Until ideation...every project is only a figment in their mind, and it's incredible how they have viewed the project in their mind.

Building projects is always an exciting journey, and as a cofounder at ProApp, I'm thrilled to see people's passion for creating and learning. Personally, I find the "Design and Planning" phase to be my favorite. It's the foundation where ideas take shape and creativity flows freely. By the way, if you want to explore a platform that can supercharge your project-building experience, you should definitely check out ProApp! 😉 (https://www.producthunt.com/prod...)

The most enjoyable and fulfilling part of the project-building journey often varies from person to person. Some find the initial ideation phase exciting, as it's where creativity and innovative ideas come to life. Others might take great satisfaction in the design stage, where they can visually shape their concept. For many developers and engineers, the coding phase can be particularly rewarding because it's where they bring the project to life through problem-solving and technical skill. Testing and troubleshooting can also be gratifying, as it ensures the project's quality and reliability. Lastly, the moment of launching a project into the world can be incredibly fulfilling, as it represents the culmination of hard work and the potential for it to make a positive impact. The specific phase that's most enjoyable often depends on an individual's skills, interests, and the project itself. regards: verizon stay touch

I find the ideation stage the most fun, because that’s the research heavy part where I get to learn from existing businesses and just can’t get enough of it.

Reason I’m built a business model library, Product X, to share my research with other builders brainstorming a model for their next idea while learning
