How did you decide your product was "ready enough" to launch?
There's always one more feature, one more bug, one more polish pass.
At some point you just have to put it out there.
What was that moment for you? A deadline, a certain number of beta users, a feature checklist, or just being tired of waiting?
Looking back, did you launch too early or too late?
(I run IndieNeed, a free launch site where makers pick their own launch date, if you're setting one: https://indieneed.com/submit?utm_source=indiehackers&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=20260929-ready-enough&utm_content=ih-indie_hackers-019)
I launched when one stranger could finish the core job without me explaining it, even if the rest was ugly. Deadline pressure helped more than a checklist — polish kept expanding until I set a date and shipped the smallest path that worked.
ready enough for us meant one thing: a stranger can complete the core job without help. we launched swapfile.live when file conversion worked end to end in the browser with no signup - everything else was polish we added later. the test I'd suggest: watch someone use it without explaining anything. where did they get stuck?
