The 1.0 being a pretext really rang true for us. It was interesting noting comparing how what we thought was important with what people were actually the critical things in making a purchase decision were, but nobody tells you those things seriously until they can look at your product and see what it's not.

Having something out there was what changed our thinking from "this is the software we're making" to "this is the market we're addressing". It still took a while to really sink in and figure out what the implications of that were, and it's no doubt a process that we'll see continue once we push the next bits out.
