Correct! We always try a bit too hard to do great things - in fact avoiding mistakes itself will give you a significant advantage.

Yep, agreed. Most of this advice is useful even if you're just building an open source project that you're passionate about, and your post helps a lot.

Nobody wants to build a product in vaccum that has no users, no matter how brilliant the idea.

My other two cofounders are building an open source tool - https://www.chatwoot.com/. I'm sure they have used a lot of wisdom from this experience too.
