What to do when someone launches the same product just before you?

Apply to joining their team. Lets look at some facts:
1) Its just you.
2) There is a lot more to a startup than just the product.
3) They have momentum and you are not launched.
You can offer:
1) Interest in the area + your ideas
2) You are inexperienced but clearly capable ( learned coding in 6 months)
You will learn a lot for the next idea you have and develop connections for the future.
Sorry to be brief but I have to head out to work!

Just now, another startup has just launched my exact idea. Their team looks larger, they have more experience in development and marketing and I'm a sole founder.
What do I do now? I still plan to launch asap but I feel hugely demoralized. The competitor has used a popular twitter user (2+ million followers) to promote their site.
Any suggestions or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
