Here's an open secret that might make you feel more comfortable: you can launch as many times as you want until people notice. Here's an awful public launch: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13343276. There's no signup, buttons seem not to work. Nobody's going to care/remember if they try again when the app is more baked in a couple weeks.

If you're not sure if your thing is usable, find someone who you can watch use it in person.

If you can't find someone to use it in person, you can get user experience feedback with a session recording tool. I am the author of such software, which you can find at http://screensquid.com.

You can also send screenshots of mockups and ask for feedback based on those. This is something good to do to make sure you're on the right track before building anything.
