Anyone else lose motivation halfway through building something?

Not sure if it’s just me, but this happens quite often.

I get a new idea, feel super excited, and start building right away. In the beginning it feels like “this could actually be something”.

But after working on it for a while, the excitement slowly disappears. I start wondering:

“Does anyone really need this?”
“Is this actually valuable?”
“Am I just building because I enjoy coding?”

Then I lose motivation and feel pretty frustrated.

Curious if other indie hackers/developers experience this too.

How do you usually deal with this feeling?
