Hi everyone,<p>I&#x27;ve been developing a small web app as a personal project and I got a fully functional prototype.<p>It got potential, and I&#x27;ve been thinking about releasing a fully polished version as a proper service. That would involve getting a decent hosting plan, run testing, implement a subscription model to monetize the project.<p>My dilemma is: should I instead lightheartedly deploy this first version to gather interest and receive feedback, and then progress to a more adult version of it and redirect users?<p>People who have shipped several web apps and potentially met modest usage in a few of them, what&#x27;s your opinion?
Ask HN: Should I gauge interest in my app or go straight to release?
