Are MVPs dead? (alien.top)

I can't help myself to think that nowadays, products UX/UI level is so high, that even for B2B products, people have expectations.

I would certainly not use a product that looks and feels crappy even if it solves my needs.

I could possibly don't see how it solves my needs if it does it in a crappy way too.

What are your thoughts?

This doesn't make a lot of sense. What does "MVP" mean to you?

[–] anthonyriera@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Minimum viable product, but to me an MVP must be a product that solve a problem well enough to validate a first hypothesis.

But not all problems are made equal, let's take Uber: what was their MVP like then?

Now, create a competitor of Uber now: What needs to be done to be called a MVP?

Efforts aren't the same than before, this is my point and something that I'm feeling when building my SaaS, users are expecting a lot even in the early days.

If you are entering a competitive market your mvp is your point of difference, not the core product.
