 I see Ben's initial comment as part of the "refine and iterate" process. 

I'd encourage every dev on #nostr to push whatever they're working on live from the get-go, even if it's terribly broken and shitty.

 it's something i'm 50/50 on

on one hand, launching early, you can get feedback from the community as soon as possible -> faster reiteration

on the other hand -> launching something early, that's not really presentable, you end up throwing off most of the people initially interested, leaving them with a "meh" first impression, and with how big word-of-mouth marketing is on nostr, it's not good for the thing launched. 
 Fair. In my experience most devs launch too late or not at all, which is an even bigger shame.  
 💯 
 Yeah, I disagree.

Most of the stuff that launches is so buggy that people play with it and then drop it, again, and then it eventually stops working entirely and the dev has ghosted.
Encountered abandoned projects seven times this week. Doesn't even surprise me, anymore. Nostr is becoming a gigantic software graveyard.

Diligence is a rare virtue.
