Working towards an MVP

I spent the last week working on building an MVP for Nodepath.

I've defined that as:

  • [x] registration
  • [x] login
  • [x] perform CRUD operations on connections
  • [ ] keeping track of connections
  • [ ] free-form data entry for connections

Once the MVP is done, I am going to reach out to anyone who asked for early access and invite them to a private beta.

I figure I'll spend a little time working on any bugs, UI polish, and must-have features that come from feedback before I open it up.

Does anyone else find coding to be the easy part? I might force myself to use my time today for outreach&growth. I'd love to get another 10 signups on the waiting list this week.

    "Does anyone else find coding to be the easy part?" --> I think 90% of IH would agree with this statement. 😂 But it's great that you're pushing yourself to do some marketing and outreach! Good luck getting those 10 signups!

      thanks :) I got 4 so far today!

    Not only an easy part but also joyful and pleasant :) And even if it doesn't work as expected, building the product is still a pleasure.

    Good luck with getting more signups! Where do you find them?

      Thanks. So far I've just been using reddit/twitter. I'm trying to find other sources though

    Before any coding, I'd start with validating the idea...

    Getting paid users is the difficult part. We have got some 40 users till now for our Twitter content scheduler sociomata.com but have not been able to convert any of them as of now.

    In my humble opinion, MVP is not a very good idea in competitive markets as 10 other players have been in the market for quite sometime and they are ahead at the product level. People won't pay for something inferior. Our product in such a market needs to be par with the incumbents.

    This is idea is best for Mobile Application, they get there notification, alert, and easily put there thing into the app

    UI looks really clean in the photo! Best of luck finishing the MVP!

      No. It is a custom theme I made for Primevue

        Do you see the purpose of this project to be a note taker or a CRM of sorts? I got that from this:

        Using Nodepath, you could log these details and quickly look them up before the meeting starts. Remembering details of a person shows you care and can leave a lasting impression.

        If the purpose is to be able to remember details, how is this differentiated from other note taking apps? I'm guessing it's the connection aspect?

          More CRM, but instead of keeping track of company size, which deal, sales reps, etc… it allows you to remember personal things about them
