I’ve been developing GhostHub, a swipe-based media server for personal libraries. It doesn’t need accounts or setup; just run it and share instantly. It has real-time viewing sync, anonymous chat, and automatic indexing with thumbnail previews.

After recently releasing version 1.2, I planned to dive straight into more ambitious features like transcoding and a config server. But managing bandwidth optimization, Docker builds, UI/UX improvements, and backend refinements has started to become overwhelming for a solo developer.

GhostHub is already at 10K+ lines of Python and JavaScript, excluding the front-end HTML and CSS, and it’s beginning to outgrow me. Every new feature demands a ton of testing, and I’m feeling the classic burnout creeping in.

I’m curious how other solo or small-team devs manage this:

- How do you balance delivering new features with preventing burnout?

- When do you decide to ship versus taking time to polish your code?

- Do you continuously refactor, or save cleanup for later?

Would appreciate hearing any experiences or advice from others who’ve tackled similar challenges.

Hi everyone. This tool exists as a way to quickly and easily download all of Wikipedia (as a .bz2 archive) from the Wikimedia data dumps, but it also prompts users to automate the process by downloading an updated version and replacing the old download every week. I plan to throw this on a Linux server and thought it may come in useful for others!

Inspiration came from the following comment on Reddit, which asked about automating the process:
