If you plan to grow your startup into a big business, the path can look something like:

You build - launches - get users - join an accelerator - raise money - find investors - hire people - build a team - grow the company...

And at some point, I wonder:

Are you still the maker who builds the product?

First, thank you More of you signed up, tried Ownfeed, and wrote to me yesterday than I expected.
Some of you hit a bug within minutes, told me, and came back after I fixed it. I don't take that for granted.

Here's the honest part: I tested every flow, many times, before launch.
Then real users arrived, and in the first hour something broke that had never broken in testing.
A few hours later, a second thing. Both fixed the same night.

What stings isn't the bug. It's that I felt ready, and the thing that broke was the plain part I had stopped looking at, not the hard part I worried about.

I'm Shun, the maker of Ownfeed.

We launched here today, and I want to use this thread to learn from you, not to pitch.
