Launching as a free product

This week I decided to soft-launch fireful.io as-is for free.

Another six to seven months passed by with fireful sitting on the back of my mind occupying a huge chunk, when finally last week I decided to come face to face with the question: "Abandon-ship!" or "All hands on deck!"?

I quickly fired up the app, and the question immediately followed: Why the heck have I not already launched this working awesome looking baby?

I did some digging deep down to answer that question honestly, and I think the reason is I just don't feel comfortable pushing something when it's obviously just marketing.

Now that the product is free, I feel that I can be genuine as I communicate my product in firebase forums, Reddit, Facebook groups, etc, and maybe then I will start thinking that I did something valuable worth asking money for...

At least that's the story I'm currently telling myself. Guess my next post will tell whether I got it right.
