Advice on dealing with criticism
warwick: For every person your product is right for, there's going to be a ton of people your product /isn't/ right for.  The people who it isn't right for can have two reactions.  They can be indifferent, or they can be critical.If they're indifferent, so be it.Being critical is a different ball game altogether.  It either means that they like it but want changes, or they have some sort of grudge against the concept, or they want you to be working on something else.  You can safely discard the last two types of criticism.The first type "they like it, but it's not perfect" is the group to actually listen to.  Can you fix what they don't like about the product without diluting your vision of what it is?  If not, do they have a better vision for your product that you might incorporate?  No?  Then don't worry about it, this isn't your audience talking.
