Ask HN: How do you decide product direction as a small team? (ycombinator.com)
We are building a product, however, we don't know whether people will use it or not. We did initial user interviews (10+) and got signal that users will use something like that. We took YC advise to heart and did manual work that delivers results for our product. It is painful but we got around $500 in payments.Now, we want to build full-scale product. However, we have been operating product on users' behalf.
