Never ask “How do I get started”or “How do I (fill in the blank)”.
Don’t solicit theories you need direct, practical answers.
Instead get moving on something.
Then ask, “I did (a),(b), and (c) but still hitting a roadblock. For achieving (blank)”
Show someone what you have done, and where you want to go. No one wants to do your homework for you.

Don't let your love for your idea blind you.
Ask other people if they're also feeling the love. In other words, talk about your idea to anyone who'll listen, outside of your family and friends, to get their reaction. Do this before investing any significant time into development.
Just because what you are building already exists doesn't mean you should give up. There is always something you can add, iterate on, improve or even just market better than the existing competitor.
Besides, someone offering something similar to what you are doing is a sign of a healthy market!

@tim_carambat exactly! i feel encouraged when i see someone else building a similar thing because it's idea/market validation 😊
Have fun and do what you love! You may commercially succeed with your first product, but most of Makers iterate for years to find a great market fit and to build a sustainable product and organization around. You need to ensure your motivation engine is in the "marathon mode".
