Building Your Low-Fidelity MVP


📺 Watch the following video to learn how to approach building your first MVP.

Here are some key takeaways from the video:

Avoid the "Zombie App" Phenomenon: Plan carefully during MVP development so that your MVP is a useful learning tool in your venture and product development journey.

Deliver Value: Focus on delivering the core value to the customer rather than getting caught up in the features.

Iterate: Use an iterative approach where each version of your product solves the user's problem more efficiently, rather than incrementally building parts of your product that don't solve the problem until the very end.

Leverage No-Code Tools: No-code tools offer speed and flexibility in the MVP development process, allowing for quick iterations based on market feedback.

Choose the Right No-Code Stack: Various no-code platforms and tools are suited for different types of projects. The video mentions several stacks:

  • WAMS Stack: Webflow, Airtable, MemberStack, and Zapier for membership websites and SaaS platforms.
  • Bubble: Offers deeper functionalities and is suited for more complex applications.
  • Adalo and Glide: Specifically for mobile apps, with Adalo providing deeper functionalities.

Templates and Fast-Tracking: Many no-code platforms offer templates that can significantly speed up the development process. Choosing a template that meets most of your requirements can be a practical starting point.

Combine Platforms: For more complex needs, consider using different platforms for different aspects of your MVP (e.g., Webflow for the front-end and Bubble for back-end functionalities).

Product Evolution: Be prepared for your product to evolve. Starting simple and iterating based on user feedback is key to avoiding the costly mistake of building something that nobody wants.
