Hi everyone I have been working on this app of mine with a developer. And I roughly planned out what I want, and its turning out great, but there are so many little tiny things that I don't realize until a lot later, like tons of bugs, a lot of issues that users will most likely run into. I try to plan it out as much as possible but always seems like there are 1000 other things I missed. Is this normal for developing an app? Or should every little detail be planned before even spending an hour of code onto it? I'm worried I will start burning through a lot of cash soon.
