"Done is better than perfect." Do you agree?
by•
When we started building @ProdShort , our first instinct was to make the product "ready" before showing it to anyone. Then we started seeing founders launching much earlier. Sometimes with nothing more than a landing page, just to see if people were interested enough to sign up... or even pay.
It completely changed the way we thought about validation. On one side, launching early gives you real feedback much faster. On the other, launching too early can make people leave before they see the real value of your product.
We're still not sure there's a perfect answer.
From your experience:
Would you rather launch an unfinished product early... or wait until you feel it's truly ready?

I’d rather launch early, but only when the core product works and delivers real value. I think that the feedback from actual users is more useful than endlessly polishing in isolation.
For me done means someone gets value without needing a walkthrough. Everything else can improve later. That's usually my launch signal. What was yours?
