Validation Criteria?
Hey Guys,
At what point do you consider an idea validated? I've got 50 sign ups for a (currently) free web app, Is there any metric I can use without coding up a pricing page?

Let me know what you guys think.

Hey Nikita,
In some ways your idea is never fully 'validated'. There's always a next stage you're looking to move on to and prove.
With that in mind, what were you looking to validate at this stage? Is it that there's interest in the broad proposition?
And what do you think you should move on to next?

I guess a major question is, do I build out features that I would use, or do i prioritize the ones that are mentioned by my users?
I get what you mean about validation and I've slowly started to see that as well. It's never validated, theres always that doubt in your own product, and its not a bad thing, as it drives you to keep pressing forward and busting your a** to retain the users you have and drive growth of new ones.
Yeh that's always a tricky one.
Re which features to build next, it always helps to have a 'portfolio'. By that I mean:
Does that help? Or were you asking a slightly different question?
