Episode notes
MVPs Fail From Poor Discovery
- MVPs often disappoint because they are done without proper discovery and focus mainly on delivery.
- This results in half-baked products that users don't like and won't adopt.
Avoid Ugly Confusing MVPs
- Avoid building MVPs that are too basic, ugly, confusing, or unengaging.
- Deliver a polished product that attracts users rather than one they quickly abandon.
MLP: Focus on Loveability
- Minimal Lovable Products (MLPs) focus on emotional connection over mere viability.
- MLPs offer delightful UX/UI that hooks users and encourages advocacy.
