I worked on a Hackathon project that received an award from the sponsor and seemed like a good idea. My team of 4 was stoked and ready to continue building the service but one more experienced dev was hesitant.

He advocated putting up a beta sign up page with some mock images; to wait and see if we were going to get traction.

Sure enough, he was right. We got tweeted by Etsy and expected a rush of sign ups- we only got 1. It was from a guy I met at the airport whom I told about the project.
