You're on the frontpage of HN, where is your landing page that explains what your app is about and captures our e-mail adresses? You don't have long before you lose your frontpage position!

We don't yet have a landing page. Bettermeans is an open democratic project management tool.

It allows people to work together on a project with a meritocratic governance as opposed to command and control.

It sounds good, but please put this on the landing page and elaborate a bit more, as well as explain how hackers might find your service interesting.

I think the HN community just launched your service for you :~).

"open democratic project management tool" sounds pretty bad ass sir :-)

Quickly make a form on your website to gather our email addresses. Email all of us in a month and we'll make great beta users for you.

Do this very quickly so that you can get as many email addresses as possible from the many people that will see you on the home page. You're the top story right now.

I've been working on a web app for over a year now. ...I've been procrastinating launching trying to get things perfect. If you're the only one who has used the site, you'll see both of these as mistakes in about 37 days. Just launch.

I totally agree. These are both mistakes. Which is why I posted this so that I have a fire under my ass. I know that being witnessed by people I respect is a motivator for me. I wish I did this 6 months ago.
