weak sauce. who let this guy on yc?


It's great to see such a positive retrospective. Keep your head up and thanks for sharing!


Thanks! Not to be cliche, but it would been easier to keep going - but nobody wants to be a zombie. Lots of hard choices.


Thanks Jack. Happy to share something that can ring true for a large number of startuppers.


The fact that "linked" apps have access to unlimited caching is a huge win for user experience.


This is why you always ship the minimum viable product!


I'm really surprised you get such a surge of downloads from being in the just-in queue. Looks like I'll be pushing minor updates once a week now!


Be aware though - Google has a system in place to prevent gaming the just-in queue. So if you push updates too frequently they won't appear in the list. I've had this happen with my app a few times.

It seems that 8 days is the minimum time between updates, to qualify for this "just-in" status. A few developers have reported this figure, and it's worked for me recently.


Release Early, Release Often - just not too early and not too often.


great idea!


I love the bit about making a lot of small bets early. You can always count on Bezos to drop some knowledge.
