Ask HN: How to get out of paralysis by analysis?

I am stuck on a design problem. While I want to facilitate the overall usage experience by making it easier and intuitive for the user, it comes at a cost of reducing freedom to account for certain edge cases.

Overall, I am simply unable to proceed. I can't move forward with coding because my mind is blocked. I don't know which path to choose because both paths seem equally terrible and equally good.

Do I just emulate what the competition is doing but secretly repress my own desires? Am I reinventing the wheel?

How can I get out of this mess? If I choose one, the fear and despair that this won't work or some imagined user complaining fills me with doubt and forces me back to the drawing board.
