Ask HN: Should you strive for perfection when you are experimenting with an idea

7 pointsby ssingover 14 years ago
If you are experimenting and not sure of your idea, do you need to strive for perfection (UI, flow) or just hack to make minimum viable project and release.

I always make sure the interface actions and flow is near perfect even before I even begin to develop. Artwork and graphics are easily changed at any time, but how the user interacts with the interface is much more complicated and much more important.<p>If you piss off the early adopters, they aren't coming back and you're going up a creek without a paddle.

Love this question. I have a partner who comes from the retail world and he is constantly leaning toward perfection before launching for an idea that may or may not be a good one. I agree with kingsidharth but it's hard to convince him. Seems most people who build a retail location need it to be as close to perfect when you open as possible.

What platform? Whats your goal for the idea? What do you <i>need</i> from the idea? How much time do you have to put into it?
