How embarrassed were you by the first version of you product?

Question

What features did you launch with that still give you nightmares today (but deep down make you very proud that you shipped early in search of feedback)?

This question was inspired by the famous quote by Reid Hoffman, the founder of LinkedIn: If you are not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you've launched too late.

When we had our first users, the profile image was a stock image of the same same woman for every single user... this still gives me shudders today 🙈.
