Forget the big, stressful launch. I now use a 'Micro-Launch' approach to release features to tiny, targeted groups, gather immediate feedback, and iterate quickly, making product development less intimidating and more effective.
Launching an MVP is just the start. I'll share the scrappy, often uncomfortable, tactics I use *after* hitting the launch button to find my first real users and gather crucial feedback, all without spending a dime on marketing.
I'll break down my go-to tech stack for building MVPs incredibly fast, explaining *why* I chose each component and how I've optimized my workflow to launch functional products in just a few days.
This post dives into my personal struggle with perfectionism during a recent MVP build, revealing how it nearly derailed a launch. I'll share the specific mental traps I fell into and introduce a 'Minimum Lovable Feature' framework to help other solo founders overcome analysis paralysis and ship faster, even when it feels incomplete.
Every founder faces feature creep. I share my personal battles with adding 'just one more thing' and the strict boundaries I set to ensure my MVPs remain lean and launchable.
