What needs to be perfect with your product before launch?

by
I've just made the most difficult decision to put off my product launch until after a week later because I thought we are not ready. A few shake-ups here and there. But this, in my opinion, while it is a setback, I see it instead as an opportunity to re-evaluate what we currently have. And make sure we get it right with our launch. We're working on making our product worthy of this community. And we are working hard at it. What is a non-negotiable for product launches in your opinion? Let's hear your thoughts. UPDATE: We finally fixed the issue we had and resolved to go live this Saturday. :) I can't thank you all enough for all your amazing answers. We'll keep working hard on our product even post-launch. But of course, those early feedbacks will be vital to our growth.☺️ We are going live on PH on Saturday. Please find us here: https://www.producthunt.com/prod... Thanks for your support.

The trickiest part is to dive head forward when you know you don't really have a polished product. Just launch, keep getting feedback and improve from there. A fresh customer perspective might be that one spark that will light up your whole product.

@ivascu_george I agree, George.

First of all, the product must fulfill its stated functionality. These are non-negotiable. Next, it would be good to consider the user experience. It would not be beneficial if users drop your product because they cannot handle the interface. Good luck with the launch!

@renat_abyasov Absolutely, Renat! Thanks.

@jmaaloe :) Because it's a problem if you don't know what the customer needs.

To take a swing at the hard question, I think that your value proposition — as it is understood today — should be near perfectly communicated. I think this allows for maximum learning with regard to product and market!

@blake_whittington Thanks for this, Blake.

As others have pointed out, perfect is the enemy of good. Speed and validation is the name of the game before you cross the chasm. I’ve seen countless founders just get stuck at perfect and never launch.

I believe having major bugs resolved before launch is crucial because this will leave an impression on the product and other factors (like the retention, and adoption). I don't believe there's ever a finished or perfect product. also, congrats on the launch! that's an interesting product :)
