Ask HN: What constitutes a successfully shipped, bootstrapped product?
What percentage of design, marketing, ux, ui, security, speed, accessibility, etc.. should I aim for in the first iteration I ship? What have successful products found to be the priority factors?

There is no percentage. Before you ship a product for the first time, it should do what is supposed to do. For example a todo list should be able to manage tasks. If it does that you can ship. Is it speedy, may be not, that is not essential.
Identify your core offer (easy to use todo list). Once you cover it you can ship. Everything else (marketing, security etc) can be done afterwards. + In the mean time you will gather feedback.

Customers first then build based on feedback
