Ask HN: Should I launch or polish my product more?

What's the point in launching polished features that nobody wants? Much better to release unpolished/limited features to a set of users and solicit feedback on what they're really after.

Then you can release more polished/complete features and market more widely and solicit more feedback and rinse and repeat to profitability (admittedly I say this as someone that has not done this yet but plans/hopes on it).

I honestly wish you good luck.

I've had too many occasions where, when evaluating a service that didn't quite do it for me.

You can't expect customers to register and pay you money for a service when a) it doesn't do everything they need, and b) there is no certainty that it will ever do everything they need.

Grhmpft... software is hard. Let's go shopping!

There's a middle path. Release it even when it's not done, but don't go full throttle on marketing.
