Today we’re talking about how to get feedback on your MVP without building very much at all.
1. Even if you are good at building apps, waiting until you have some idea of what customers want will prevent you having to rebuild the app multiple times.
2. Screenshots, animations, and no code tools are enough to get your first rounds of feedback. Oftentimes you can build complete applications in these environments. If you add in example data from the customer, it will be almost as convincing as a working app.
3. Once you have a workflow that customers like, something that they are asking to use for real, then you can build out a basic, working version. You can also ask the most excited customers if they want to pay upfront to be the first in line — generating sales before you build.
Best of luck out there.
