Some roadblocks...

1. Incredibly hard to solved the fancy idea or do not have an elegant way to solve it.
2. Other project has taken my idea with a better solution.
3. Motivation ran out of juices or depleted.
4. Still looking for better technology available for the idea.
5. Some project needs to access expensive resources before starting.
6. No time or chance to get around it because of workplace consuming too much of personal time.

Usually, just plain old lack of time. Because I never really know how much time I'll have, I usually include CRANKY.md in personal projects, which I talk about here:

The Cranky Developer Manifesto

Moved on to the next super awesome idea! 😁

When I was working on my personal project, I am getting bored so fast. I am always thinking about the big problems I will see, And when I thought it the project seems like an unsolvable monster to me. :D

This is a great discussion topic.

Usually, it's due to time. I'll have every intention to getting back to it, or updating it, but I work full time and have limited free time. What time I do have, I prioritize and coding it's on the list at times.

Sometimes, my goals as far as personal projects, etc shift. It's not my showiest project, but I did revisit my Halloweenti.me during October as opposed to my other projects because it was relevant and I wanted to work on something fun and low-maintenance.

Generally because I no longer have a good use case. I may have found a better solution, or completely just dont have the same problems any more.

I tend to create tons of quick prototypes that never see the light of day, but the ones that come out of that tend to stick for quite awhile.

Sometimes I paint myself into a corner and then get frustrated and rage quit

Lack of time

A bit over ten years ago I abandoned all my...

Visual Basic 6

projects.

I guess I wouldn't need to explain any further, but sometimes it is good to let tech go.

I had a project but didn't know how to promote it. That's why it was abandoned.

Now I have a new one, and this time I have a marketing campaign in mind :)

But before, it needs to be filled with a lot of content to make marketing things.

Got an idea for new project so lost interest in old project.

Most of the time lack of time to allocate :(
