I disagree. There is always a space for something bleeding edge. Your fatal flaw was not creating something "new" but the fact that you didn't actually build the product. A product that has no easy ability to integrate with a workflow is not a product, it's a proof of concept.

I tend to agree with this sentiment and it's what's driven me to build the mvp for https://sqwok.im. At least for this type of app/product, I don't believe a simple poc would be enough. I needed to get a working mvp into peoples hands to even have a shot of conveying the idea. Some people close to me have challenged me on this topic, which is healthy, but we will see how it plays out.
