I did not follow the logic I describe in this post, and I did regret it. My first side-project did not get anywhere after Minimum Viable Product (MVP). Here is how I (and you) could know it before writing my first line of code.
The moment you’ve got an idea
We all have these moments when we think we have a product idea worth a million dollars. Fine.
Your product must solve someone’s problem: that is how people may be willing to pay you. If your product is supposed to solve a problem that you are not experiencing yourself then you are already in trouble.

Make a landing. Prepare a one-line description of your solution. Describe your solution. Use your

Imagine MVP is there.
I am not a salesperson. Not an excuse
If you can’t sell it then how do you know what to build? If you can’t sell it then you do not know WHO to sell it to. If you can’t sell it then you are not solving anyone's problem.

Go build your MVP.
