I built a shitty MVP and it actually worked 🤷♂️
Look, I'm not gonna sugarcoat this. My web app is buggy as hell.
Took me 5 months to build the damn thing, then another month to fix it cause the first version was straight up trash.
But here's the crazy part - people are actually using it:
→ 200+ users from Europe
→ 10+ small businesses running their daily stuff on it
→ Everyone seems pretty happy with it (somehow)
What I learned about MVPs →
I used to think I needed everything perfect before launching. Spent months tweaking colors, fixing tiny bugs, making sure every feature worked flawlessly.
Total waste of time.
Turns out users don't care if your app looks pretty or has zero bugs. They just want their problem solved.
My buggy app taught me more in one week than 6 months of coding in isolation ever did.
Building two more "shitty" MVPs right now →
→ First one: Making it easy for regular people to build websites/blogs without knowing code
→ Second one: Something to make dating apps less painful (we'll see how this goes lol)
Goal is to get both live by end of Q3. Not perfect, just working enough that people can use them.
The real talk →
→ Stop perfectioning your MVP to death. Just ship the damn thing.
→ It's gonna be buggy. It's gonna look basic. Users might complain.
→ But at least you'll know if you're building something people actually want.
→ Perfect apps that never launch help nobody 🤷♂️
