Why didn’t you release the first versions?
Was the tech really that bad?

To be honest, in retrospect I should have released the first version. But as an engineer, I got stuck fixing things and adding features because I thought, “otherwise no one will use it.” While adding features, I realized I needed to change the tech stack in order to move faster and add more functionality more efficiently. In the end, I’m happy with Rails, but I should have released years ago.
