It's amazing how much non-programming work is required to get an application release-ready. Add to that list domain acquisition, email configuration, staging environments, legal documentation, status pages, error tracking, user and subscription management and feedback mechanisms.

Our startup is tackling this domain, and we'd love to hear more of these "petty issues" web and mobile apps need to resolve before shipping - we've found that, while seemingly minor, they present a huge hindrance to the launch of developer side projects.
