sorry for the duplicate. i posted just as hn went down. as i clicked a second time i wondered whether it checked for double posts (no duplicate siblings). guess i have my answer.
i don't see a "delete" option, though i've seen '[deleted]' before. maybe that's from moderators.
[EDIT: so I see the 'delete' option for this comment. must disappear after time passes.]
the time to pull the plug is a good question. we are nearing our second year, though only in the past 4 months have we both been working full time. as the product and community matures we will either transition from savings to sustainability, or else move to more sustainable work while still pushing the startup forward on the side (not so many new features, but often the social and entrepreneurial advances are more a matter of timing and connections. constant strategic effort, not full time effort). we'll see though.
