Lean startup dogma dictates that if you’re not embarrassed by v1, you took too long to build it. Had you followed that advice and posted it to HN, you’d have been torn to shreds and wouldn’t be telling this story. Congrats on building a product so good that met and exceeded the standards of the HN community and went on to be a successful business.

Exactly. Sometimes I wonder if there's any good advice at all.
