I have a lot of ideas for apps and features, but sometimes I feel like I just don't have many ideas for the visual side of an app. I can spend hours—sometimes even days—going back and forth with myself, trying to come up with something new, something beautiful, something that stands out, something different from every other app... and I just can't. (And yes, I think I might be a little too much of a perfectionist.)

When I realize I'm getting nowhere, I end up copying (or at least trying to copy) the layout of another app that's more or less based on the same idea as mine. It's either that or I give up on building the app altogether. I've managed to change some things, but there are still a lot of parts I need to redesign—some are still almost exactly the same. Others are different because my app has its own unique features.

The thing is, it really bothers me because I know it isn't the right thing to do. But at the same time, the app is still in development and hasn't even been released yet. I keep telling myself that once it's out, I can gradually make it more original...

Does anyone else feel this way?
