If you're building a product and your product's blog doesn't provide link directly to that product so I can figure out what your product is.... I automatically assume you don't have enough attention to detail to create a valuable product. Bummer.
Attention to detail VS. scrappiness / Get Shit Done. At an early stage when you're doing an MVP and validating your product, which would you recommend I go for?
The blog is based on a ghost theme, that I forked and adapted yesterday: https://github.com/BeeplApp/ghostwriter Feel free to fork it. If you're that attentioned to detail, then Beepl will definitely be a challenge for you ;) (And i'm hiring: piotr@beeplapp.com)
The article itself was written in a couple of hours. Nothing badly done there? ;)
Last but not least, as I say in the post, You can't please everyone. Its a bummer for you, but not for the people who flocked to the website. (1110 unique visitors since the post on HN.)
I'm a perfectionist, I wish I could nail everything down. But I have to be realistic. Solo founder, bootstrapper, one man show. Tradeoffs are necessary. And i'd gladly miss a link to my website that can be fixed easily vs making sure my website is live when massive unexpected traffic hits my server.
again, missing link or website down? perfectionisme or scrappiness?
P.S. check the blog now. I made a mistake, you pointed out ( thanks :)) and now its fixed :) Cheers!
It's such a simple thing that people seem to overlook so frequently too.
Look at buffe'rs blog: http://blog.bufferapp.com/ Logo with the name of buffer goes back to the root. They added a "Whats buffer" link to point to the website.
Buffer's title is equally vague, but I don't have to question it there because there's the giant Hello bar at the top with a link to the app.
