Hey fellow entrepreneurs! Let’s talk about the real struggle when building an MVP – the second 90% of development. 🚀
We all love the thrill of creating the core concept, adding features, and showing progress to early adopters. But when it comes to onboarding customers and making the MVP usable, that’s where the real challenge begins.
Here’s a quick rundown of my journey with my SaaS, the Landing Page Wizard:
– Started strong with the core concept and basic functionality.
– Added essential sections and made content editable.
– Hit a roadblock with images and dove into performance optimization.
– Shared a demo and received positive feedback from a test group.
But then came the daunting tasks of setting up payment systems, authentication, database management, and more. The list seemed endless, and the simple landing page creator turned into a complex system.
While some suggest using SaaS starter kits, I believe in keeping things lean and focused on solving the core problem. In my case, I opted for manual user onboarding to avoid unnecessary complexities.
So, how do you tackle the second 90% of MVP development to prepare for onboarding customers? Have you had experiences with SaaS starter kits? Share your thoughts and experiences below!
As for a possible solution, here’s a tip: Stick to your MVP’s core problem-solving objective and prioritize features that directly impact user onboarding. Keep it simple, efficient, and user-centric to ensure a smooth transition from development to customer acquisition. Good luck with your MVP journey! 🌟🚀
Building an MVP is tough, especially the final touches. You’re right about the second 90% being the hardest. Keep focusing on the essentials, avoid feature creep, and onboard manually if needed to simplify things.
