It sounds like you're just struggling while on your way to your own 'black triangle' moment.. It's a good thing! The reward is totally worth it!

Yes I do take the black triangle approach to development. A long period of solving problems and de-risking and learning stuff. Nothing tangible to show but a bunch of solved problems.

Next step, tie all the solved problems together into a working solution. Relatively speaking it's actually the easy bit.

Thanks for engaging in the dialogue.

From your answers it would appear that you are on the brink of seeing your idea come to fruition.

If it is any help, try to integrate each technical area one by one into the complete application. The incremental results might give you that extra shot of energy seeing the finish line so close.

Good Luck!

Yes I really need to see something tangible to get the boost to keep going. It's been very hard coming up to speed and now results are needed.
