When should I launch? MVP? 3rd iteration?

Question

Hi everyone. I've been building out my app. It's my 6th or so attempt at hitting the core problems of my core users. I'm wondering if this is the time I should be launching?

@mjkabir Okay Kabir. I'll release early. Starting development today. I will be working around the clock to get this done in less than 3 weeks!!

If you believe in building in public, release early.

If you believe in traditional approach: release a limited beta, then public beta, then v1, v1.1,…

@mjkabir Hi Kabir, since it's you I'll try it :). I'm posting on LinkedIn, reddit, and here on product hunt. It's tough making these posts because it's demoralizing when no one sees it, but what keeps me going is knowing it's there for me (and maybe investors) to see my progress in the future

@my_phung Awesome! One recommendation, use a blog or X account to document your journey to inform and tease potential users. Of course, I would say a better option is to create a ShowNotes.app account and share notes on yourr joirmey!  if you do, let me know and I will upgrade you to 
PRO for free 😂🙏
