Good stuff man 🎉

Basically ship fast doesn't mean shipping half baked products. Ship fast means launching minimal working prototype. Notice the "working" part. Basically what this means is that you have an idea. Now you break that idea in features and then pick one feature and build that only and launch the product around it. Now you shipped. Just make sure that your one feature is stable and doesn't crash often. Bugs happen no matter how much you test and that's the part of what we do in coding but stability is basically your happy flows and errors or empty states are all good working. Now you can add more features one by one and keep shipping on each feature. In my experience once you launch something then it becomes a lot easier to add more features as you have the whole pipeline setup and rolling.

Don't start spending money right away on the ads. You need to optimize the app funnel loop first. You need to run experiments on pricing, icons, screenshots, ASO, and paywalls to see if the organic users (even a few) are actually converting to trials or not. So if you run ads and bring users by spending money and they don't start trials, then you are basically burning money. So you need to first optimize the funnel from download to trial and conversion first.
