Apify is releasing MCP connector: MCP Connectors is Apify's built-in credential layer for third-party tools. Users authorize their accounts once (Notion, Slack, etc.) in Settings Integrations. Those connections are then available as inputs to any compatible Actor : no token-sharing, no developer access to credentials, no OAuth app registration required.
If you haven't tried to build something with Apify, it is the perfect time to join.

My instinct is always to polish. I want the first thing someone sees to be good, because I figure you only get one first impression and an embarrassing v1 sticks to you.
But almost every product I actually respect started out rough. The early versions were janky and half-broken, and the founders shipped anyway because real users teach you things a year of polishing never will.
So I go back and forth on this constantly.
The case for shipping ugly is that you stop guessing. You find out what people actually care about instead of perfecting features nobody asked for. The case for waiting is that a bad first experience can kill momentum before it ever gets a chance to stick, and you don't always get told why people left.
I think the answer depends on how reversible the launch is. A small audience that forgives you is very different from a big public moment you can't take back.
But I'm probably biased toward polishing longer than I should, and I've definitely buried good ideas thinking they were not ready yet.
Where do you land: ship the ugly version and learn, or hold it until you're proud of it?

I don t want to rant here (but I probably will a bit)...

Almost every ad visual, but also a lot of organic content on social media, is very generic and created by AI (I get it, it s a cheaper and more scalable way of promoting). But when everyone does it, it becomes really hard to stand out and differentiate yourself.
