A lesson I learned is look for hacks to do something without writing code. It’s hard when your idea really needs it though. Then it’s more about removing features from the mvp as much as you can.

Another one is an idea journal. Then over time you have a collection of things and can choose which one is exciting.

It can be hard, but if you can get potential customers to have a conversation with you and give you money ahead of time you’ve proven you are on to something.

I’ve been wanting a framework that makes mvps easier to ship. Planning on working on one that leverages server rendered react for ui with Airbnb Hypernova, rails for data and security, aws fargate for auto scaling compute, and aurora serverless for an auto scaling sql db. Would also be nice to auto generate react/redux crud like rails does. Or just use standard rails for stuff that doesn’t need polish.
