Most people don’t fail at startups because of bad ideas.

Most people don’t fail at startups because of bad ideas. They fail because they overbuild. Here’s my 30-day MVP system (used in real projects): Week 1 — Validation + Scope Talk to 10–15 real users (not friends) Define 1 core problem (NOT 5 features) Write a simple PRD (Google Doc) Week 2 — Backend + Core Logic Node.js + Express / NestJS MongoDB or PostgreSQL Auth (Clerk / Firebase) Stripe (if monetization needed) Week 3 — Frontend Next.js or React Native (depending on platform) Tailwind for speed ShadCN UI (don’t design from scratch) Week 4 — Ship Fast Deploy on Vercel / Railway Add analytics (PostHog / Mixpanel) Launch on Twitter + Reddit + Product Hunt Rules I follow: No feature takes > 1 day No pixel-perfect design before validation No scaling before users Your MVP is not your product. It’s a learning machine. If you’re spending 3+ months building, you’re already late. hashtag#buildinpublic hashtag#startup hashtag#MVP hashtag#SaaS hashtag#indiehackers
