    Do you wait for perfection or do you start and improve along the way?

    When it comes to projects or ideas, do you find yourself waiting for everything to be absolutely perfect before you launch, or do you believe in getting started and iterating as you go? I'm curious to hear your thoughts! Our Android App is ready but not perfect for sure. We are going ahead and launching on 27th anyway. https://www.producthunt.com/products/replymind https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.replyboard.android&pcampaignid=web_share

    Omar, after going through some hard falls, I’ve learned that perfection is the enemy of growth. It impossible to have all the answers right from the start. You have so many dead angles. Embracing the process of growth makes you flexible to learn, improve, and constantly iterate on your products. Which is for the best. Launch it anyway your product and remain open for feedback no matter the stage you are in 🙏🏽

    Omar, your question is interesting. I used to be a perfectionist, but that took me nowhere; I never finished my products. I recommend reaching a state where your product is commercially viable, maybe selling it for a lower price, gaining better quality through user experience, and involving users in further product development. You are probably not able to design a product that is 100% perfect without collecting user experience, so why not aim for that instead of a "perfect" product from the beginning? That's my recommendation.

    I believe in launching and refining along the way, like cooking a recipe - tasting as you go beats waiting for the perfect blend! Good luck with your Android app launch on the 27th!
