>> I do not know who to show it to, or really what steps to take.
Post your product here. We are not that bad a bunch. You can also submit an exclusive beta launch to TechCrunch or ReadWriteWeb.
>> How do I keep this afloat if/when it gets too large for me to handle myself?
That's just pre-mature stress. Don't worry about breathing problems standing at the base of the mountain. Start by taking small steps, grow organically, and think about "scaling" later.
>> How can I get funding, very soon, so that I can have a team of people churning away at the larger scale ideas behind this?
I'd say, wait, till you have a stable product. Hence, release early.
>> What should I do next?
Share your product with potential users/testers. Write about it, as often, and where-ever you can.
Good luck!
- sam_in_nyc 18y agoOk, you're right. There's no need to worry about scaling or maintenance for now, and I should be looking forward to those problems. One problem with submitting here, at least without funding and any sort of assurance of future growth, is that I feel a bit vulnerable. The product contains some new browser-based technologies that I'd rather not share just yet, at least until I'm sure that I'll be the one implementing them to their fullest.
