As someone who's going through this process myself, here are some tips:
- Have a clear goal about what you're building. If you don't know where you're headed, you'll end up getting lost.
- Start the research NOW. It takes quite abit of context switching between research and dev. The sooner you get a clear view of how to build it, the better.
- Use tools, frameworks, other people's code, etc. but consider the learning consequences.
- Layout daily goals and your roadmap for all your features. Put it in your calendar
