What’s the boring launch blocker that turned out to be a major part of your product?

Mine: I’m building a guitar practice tool, and I can’t legally show my own app working. Every screenshot has copyrighted lyrics in it.
Spent three weeks working around it — cropping, blurring, avoiding the best feature. Then realised the actual fix was to just write two original songs and own the demo files outright. One afternoon, 3 week problem gone permanently lol.
Every maker I talk to has one of these. The thing that looked like admin turned out to be the constraint shaping everything.
What was yours

I built an app that helps travelers. I wanted to share it to my friends but they found it incomprehensible. I finally created a system of group and code to show them and it became my main feature. Sorry for my lack of english, I'm french.
