There is one way to make sure the product improves after shipping a quick-and-dirty first version: dog-fooding.

Be a user, for real. Many seem to think that just using the product equals dog-fooding, but real dog-fooding is when you can honestly say you get real value out of using the product. It is when you'd pay to use it.

When you use your own product and gets value out of doing so, you have true customer perspective and your needs are aligned with your customers needs.
