I've had the same problem. Not just programming projects but also blog posts, articles, music tracks, and even a novel that I want to launch, but somehow, seem stuck at 90% complete.

I was actually thinking of launching a platform to help people get the last 10% done. Often, people have the entire thing figured out but lack the confidence or the expertise to go live. Perhaps if an expert was to look over the project when it was about 90% done, you would feel more confident about launching.

Either way, the demands of someone looking for help before launching, vs. someone who wants something built from scratch are very different. I thought a dedicated platform for the former would help.

That's actually a really good idea. A lot of times people have big dreams for projects they really enjoy, but little knowledge and expertise in those areas, and so they aren't confident enough to see it through to the end. I myself have a website trading business that is in this state.
