"All early software projects suck in some ways"

I'm a big fan of Dharmesh Shah's On Startups blog, and a recent post reminded me so much of where I am with Dressr:

One of the hardest things to do when getting a new project off the ground is finding that early mass of users to actually try it and tell you why it sucks. No doubt it sucks, because all early software projects suck in some ways, you need to know why it sucks.

This is very reassuring to me. This is why I launched Dressr for SXSW -- before it was really ready. And this is where I am now -- walking the fine line between "is it enough?" and "getting the word out as much as possible." Right now I know Dressr sucks -- my post SXSW traffic has a couple of people signing up but very few using it -- so the next thing to figure out is "why it sucks."

I figure I'm going to fix some of the issues that have become obvious from the post-SXSW usage trends (design, "getting" it, usability), and then go for round 2 of this type of user/feedback/fix loop.
