2 years in and you haven't launched? You need to launch. Without real feedback how do you know if you are building something people actually want?

It wasn't the original plan, but things change. You often don't know what you don't know when you first set down a path. Sometimes the bar for a proper MVP is beyond reach without a team. It can take a long time to realize that.

Good question. I've watched several companies come into existence in that time, and also watched several established companies add similar features to their products. Every time this happens it's both well received by users while at the same time revealing a larger trend. Each represents a piece of the same puzzle, it's just that nobody has put them together yet.

I'm also scratching my own itch in terms of what I'm building, so that's a plus. Fortunately it seems to be an itch a lot of people have.
