Perhaps my definition of prototype is wrong. I'm working towards a decent 1.0 version with very basic functionality that people might use.

I used to think that having a prototype was enough but now I hear that is not enough to talk to investors or people. I dunno.

Why don't you outsource some of the work. At least version 0.1 - you will get a working prototype and market validation as well.

Perhaps but I think I would want to keep something like that close to my heart, not because I'm paranoid but because I really want to learn the code behind it so I know what's going on.

Besides, it's using technology I'm not used to and I need all the practice I can get.
