My Process for Building an MVP in 20 Days

The first release of https://www.logbookforge.com was built in 20 days, from the 6th of August 24 to 26th August 24.

I started with a blank nextjs project, focusing purely on getting a responsive dynamic template to generate based on whatever workout details are input. A simple form + some code giving different eventualities.

Once I had a good template being generated, I moved onto integrating Stripe, making sure payments were working, and that a customer could go from generating their logbook to purchasing easily.

Added a watermarked preview that couldn't be downloaded before payment and a downloadable version after payment next.

Once the actual product to payment flow was done I started looking for a printing partner, one that could print the exact notebooks/logbooks I wanted from the generated templates, found one with an API and integrated that

Once all of that was funtional I put together a landing page and deployed to vercel.

All of this was supported by Claude.ai and ChatGPT, making moving between these features was painless.

Now I'm currently working on product photos and gearing up to do a full launch
