I took on a very similar challenge in 2012 although I gave myself a year to do it mostly because I didn't have the benefit of market penetration to validate my idea before starting. Because I'm a developer I started with my idea, then went after the market which I think may have cost me a few months in the beginning. I also very much under estimated how slow the real estate market is to adapt to new technology so I didn't fully reach my goal but I'm 2/3 of the way there and think I'll get the rest of the way plus some in Q1. I really wish I had of documented the journey the way you are. It would be a super valuable retrospective. Maybe I'll do one of those fancy year in review blog posts that all the cool kids seem to be doing.
I think it'll be important for you to learn as much as you can about RoR so that you can accelerate to launch as quickly as possible and start getting those clients in the door. Anyway, good luck with reaching your goal!
