Well, after a week or two of bug fixing and tweaking, I think TogetherLoop is good enough to put it in front of people.
This is a weird thing to build, because it's value isn't tied to the quality of the code or design, it's tied to the volume of people who use it. More specifically, it's tied to the number of people in your circle of friends that use it. To that end, I don't think reaching people to try it is the challenge, it's getting them to invite others.
I'm still messing around with video. The trick is finding an economical way to transcode video without having to provision a bunch of infrastructure. I won't get into all of the technical reasons that it's challenging, but I'm being careful because right now I don't have to spend anything extra over what I'm already using. Well, that's not true. I'm paying for a CDN to load the app itself. I'm not certain that I'll keep that, because I'm not convinced it's really any faster.
It's fun to actually ship something new on my own. I've had all of these projects sitting around unfinished, and I self-loathe for all of the undoneness.
