    Loved the ideas. Thanks for posting this great stuff 👍

  2. 1

    I would like to argue that UX research is not optional: Understanding what a user wants and how they understand and interact is the most important part of any product. It will give insight in all the important aspects of a project from a consumer perspective - IMO that is crucial

    But thank you for the article. Great ideas keep it up!

    Great step-by-step guide to converting from a concept to a millionaire. Thanks!👍

    Do you use any special kind of strategy when talking to your potential clients to validate the idea? Like the mom test for example?

  5. 1

    This is the best summary I have ever seen, with a good balance of low and high level detail. Thanks for sharing it.

  6. 1

    I love the idea of a mysterious product launch. Maybe going to try it for real.

  7. 1

    This is so wonderfully written. Bookmarked and looking forward to more of your writing! 👍

    Good stuff. I personally use no-code platforms to build MVPs for various projects and find that they are incredibly useful and can save a lot of time and resources for creating products that no one wants.

  9. 1

    This mirrors a lot of what I did to build my MVP. I really like your point 'It's important to focus on both the "minimum" and "viable" aspects of the MVP'. It's surprisingly easy to just focus on one and ignore the other.

    Great guide. This is also a good reminder that just because you love your product it doesn't mean others will. Idea validation is essential.
