Is this an example that goes against the common advice to launch an MVP fast to test the market (and then keep on improving)? It seems that the advice is valid only when there is nothing for the customer to compare the to-be-launched product to. If competing products end up launching at around the same time as yours, the advice may turn its head on you.

- radioact1ve 13y agoThis is a good point. Is there more to this? As a big believer in the MVP, this is something I have to look more into.
