Thanks! That's an encouraging way to look at it, as it allows me to ship something that's not 100% perfect yet. But I guess no matter how hard we try, it never really is, is it?

Usually it never really is perfect, unless it does its job 100% without any bugs (which we may not be able to tell, but it is possible). I have projects that are completely finished, so I think. :D
There is a difference though between showing off cool stuff and having the potential to show off cool stuff. I released my app in the latter phase, not the former, which is what I wanted to do. To be honest, I was just having a really bad day yesterday and was feeling really burnt out, so I just sort of gave up and released it, knowing full well I hadn't written the stuff to show off how cool this is just yet. I knew I should have waited. Oh well, lesson learned.
I do not think it was premature to show it off, and you could always post a new submission a month or two from now. :)
A few times over the past 15 years, the HN mods have made it clear to me that you only get the HN spotlight once every few months. So this was my one chance for mid 2025 to release it right. That's okay, lesson learned is the important thing. I'm moving on to the next big iteration of it and will probably post again in Q3/Q4.
Hmm, I have not heard of that. You cannot post the same link, or a link to a new release perhaps, maybe after 2 months?
