Arguing over nomenclature probably doesn't really matter. There's no one-way™. The video validates that there's need, drew already had a prototype that worked.

Arguing over nomenclature probably doesn't really matter. There's no one-way™. The video validates that there's need, drew already had a prototype that worked. I think a lot of time just build it all at the same time. Nobody's ever going to fully externally validate an idea for you ahead of time. Just keep building until it seems like it's boring / you're poor / it has no potential. Don't go off and do it by yourself (without growth / people using it) if you want to build a real startup and not an art project. I think a lot of times people are looking for an excuse to not build the thing they really want to build. Just build something cool, don't worry if it's an MVP or prototype or whatever. You don't normally have to talk to other people about MVP or prototype because talking about it is usually fake work.
