Additional item:

The demo that was thrown together is not ready to release into production!

[naww]

But what about "release early, release often"?

[d_p]

Is there a difference between that and "release early, release often, release broken"?

[naww]

Nope. Don't be afraid to release broken. As full quote goes: "Release early. Release often. And listen to your customers".

Trying to perfect a product by your self is hard and other people always find a genuine way to broke it. I believe that it is more important to be first out, first with samples and first with some kind of a product to sell that improves with time.

Thoughts?

It depends. What sort of broken do you have? What is your business? What is your scale if this is additional feature on existing product.

Usability? How broken?

Performance? Might be ok if you have no initial customers.

Dataloss risk? Depends on the business.

Security problems? What is the worst case - personal photos (whose), medical data. Legal risks?
