Usually boils down to that yeah.

But with users comes problems that we currently don't have the money or time to deal with. After the workday is complete, we have on average 2-3 hours to work on the platform. If we did this under the cape of a "big-brother", we would have more time and resources to deal with issues that we currently can't, such as marketing, legal and economic issues. And would be able to dedicate the entire day to get the system ready to go public.

If we could dedicate the entire day to development of the system, we could release in a matter of weeks. At the current rate we are lucky if we can get the system online by early-spring, but considering that this is not a traditional social b2c startup, that might be fine.

Find users that understand the limitations and find value in the product. That also means that what you work on will be what the users actually want rather than what they might want or what is fun to work on.

A good filter for what users find valuable is that they will pay for it.

That makes a lot of sense, thanks!

Do you have any opinion if we should open-source the project?
