I've been going down a rabbit hole recently around idea validation. In the past, when starting a business of project, I have done everything from blindly pursuing the idea until something worked (often hard) right through to doing a more formal testing of the idea (worth it but harder to be objective). I'm curious. How do PH people do idea validation? If you have a great idea, what are your next steps? Edit: there have been some really fantastic thoughts and suggestions here! Starting with the end-user in mind is key, in an effort to understand their pains. I'm still curious as to how to ascertain market demand. Where do you go to see potential demand for an idea?

I know the general consensus is ship that shit. Are there any counteraguments to that? What are you things that you want to do before you launch a product? Have you ever launched early and regretted doing so? Have you ever launched and regretted not doing so earlier? Julie @syswarren argues that: "launching too soon is rarely a problem". She admitted that she shared her website trypulsar.com even though she was still dealing with some DNS issues.
