Don't take his criticism too hard. It's just part of the startup culture: Get something out there and in front of real users, as early as possible, so you can begin the virtuous cycle of success.
- gojomo 15y agoNo worries; this isn't my first spin around the roller rink. I've struggled with the question of whether it's better to talk in advance of something to show, or just wait until launch and let the site speak for itself. I've decided to talk about the vision and general themes before tangible launch for two reasons: (1) With any such community-built project, who shows up in the early days will have a giant influence on how it develops... and I'm hoping a little bit of advance discussion will mean more of Infinithree's natural userbase can find it and participate as soon as it's ready. (2) We'll need plenty of help. So if the general outline strongly resonates with potential deep (even eventually full-time) collaborators, I'd love to start working with them even before public launch. So I'm taking the risk of both the immediate 'vaporware' and eventual 'underwhelmed' reactions with full awareness of how these things can go.
