I think then maybe I did follow the basic model you suggest. I don't think at the first "launch" my product was completely viable. It had a lot of bugs and was pretty ugly. However getting people I didn't know to look at it really drove me through the first point you made. The product and idea changed dramatically through a very organic process driven by feedback. I am seeing the point you and the other commenter are making about product and market fit though. The other ideas I have are similar scenarios to the one I'm working on now, where the same approach basically fits. So really I may be just be over generalizing.
