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?

100% agree with that, but the common thing to see online is: just ship it fast, do not wait on small details like design / ux / branding which is in my opinion wrong.

Selling a product is like everything: storytelling, centered on the user. Except this user maybe lived this story X times, making them more difficult to convince.

Love your analogy with the coffee shop, I agree with you, my point really is: the bar is so much higher than before now for "MVPs"

True, i totally agree with you, but the bar ia higher in everything. Even in offline businesses, back in the days you could open any business in your garage, now you need a whole legal team to handle and get all licenses, permits and other stuff before you can even start something.
