How we built mvpAI: A lean system to validate startup ideas without writing code

Hey Indie Hackers 👋

We just launched mvpAI.co, a platform that helps people validate their startup ideas fast — without writing a single line of code or hiring a dev team.

This is our answer to the question:
"How can early-stage founders test ideas without wasting weeks building something no one wants?"

🔍 We guide founders through:

A lightweight MVP Readiness Score

Persona-based feedback simulations (using AI)

Early-stage mockup designs and Figma prototypes for testing

Realistic launch plans — based on AI persona tests, not overbuild

We created this because we’ve been in that early messy phase ourselves — when you're not technical, not funded, and need to move fast without getting overwhelmed by hundreds of no-code and low-code tools.

We’re not trying to compete with no-code builders like Bubble or Webflow. Instead, we help people before they even reach the build stage.

👀 Would love feedback on the positioning, and curious:
How did you validate your first idea?
