The corollary of which is "It's not just good, it's good enough" (which I think is a Simpsons reference).
I actually have a project on the shelf that's ][ far from being releasable.
It's waiting on two things.
One, is since it's a Java GUI, getting it built into a form for the MacOS/Window/Linux platforms, rather than just "here's a jar file". There's ways around this, but it's not quite drag and drop, and I haven't got a Windows box to test anything on, so its stalled. (I tried installing one of MS's VM images that they offered, but that's didn't work, so...back to the shelf).
Two, is documentation. I could probably just let it go, and explain it to the 3 people who might actually download it and use because simply launching it, "Neat!", and letting it bit rot forever more. But, I think it needs some documentation, so...it sits.
If I could satisfactorily drag and drop the installers, I'd probably press on with it, but it could still use some docs.
Meanwhile, I continue on my meta project which this project would inevitably be folded into, so it's not all lost.
Personally, I have lost count of the times I've got a jar from some place, and had to look at the source to discover how to use, and still used the software.
It is really not a good experience, but totally beats not having the software.
