Launch Your Site Too Soon

I guess the counterargument is that if you had launched a really polished site, you may have gotten positive press from the get-go and a much larger userbase.

You should look into buying "housefeed.com" and perhaps renaming your site to that.<p>That's what I thought I saw as your name upon first glance. My brain unconsciously filled in the details: "Oh, feeding people at a house, 'housefeed.com', makes sense".<p>Also, you get the benefit of the "feed" connotation: a feed of pictures of people's meals at their houses.

Good on you for being gutsy enough to launch to the HN crowd so early! Great openness in your post.

I would love for this to succeed. However, for now, one can't book or host a meal yet -- correct?

It's like throwing a dinner party and inviting the guests to come see how you've neatly arranged the pots and pans on the floor, in the fashion of a stove. "It's fantastic," they'll say, "Perhaps you should include some carrots." "This is wonderful feedback!", you'll think, as you as begin to slice carrots for your floor-bound pots.

Changing the background color to FFFFFF instantly gives the site a cleaner look. I want to see this succeed.

I've heard a few different pitches for this idea...booking meals in other people's homes...the one thing I rarely hear being brought up though is the legality of this. Aren't there pretty strict laws about cooking prepared food for others? I thought restaurants and even those street vendors are supposed to be checked out...<p>Just wondering if you have checked this potential issue out...or maybe I'm misunderstanding the idea.

Would work only if you're a regular in HN. For anyone else, this would fire (no one will return).
