A few days ago an article on "delayed launches"[1] was posted here on HN. We took a step back from our computers, looked at each other, and laughed nervously. The article was about us. The thing is, the author couldn't possibly have known about us as we've been too afraid to leave the comfort of our stealth mode. We've wasted so much time tweaking our concept in utter fear of how the community would receive us. Mantras about releasing early and often, or letting our users shape the product, to no avail; we subconsciously wanted our entire (ever-changing) vision to be implemented to perfection before showing you anything. A lot is happening in the "real-time" business at the moment and now we're asking ourselves: "why the hell didn't we launch a year ago?". So, as an exercise in letting things go, we're throwing our little project to the wolves. Despite our wishes to have implemented X, Y, and Z before doing so.
