Build the Smallest Thing That Solves the Deepest Pain

Most MVPs are either too shallow to matter or too bloated to teach you anything. The best ones do one thing: they solve something painful right now. Your goal isn't to impress. It's to deliver relief. Start with: • What are people already trying to hack together? • What's annoying enough to pay for? • What's a moment that causes users to say: "I wish something just did this..." I've seen tiny scripts turn into entire startups because they addressed one unmet moment with clarity. Keep it brutal: • No extra features • No onboarding tour • Just one click to value Solve one thing so clearly it feels like magic. That's what spreads. That's your real MVP.
