Ask HN: What should I do before building a MVP?
I have a rough idea about a product finder website I want to build as a side project, but I don't really know how to measure market interest.
I heard about strategies that include building a nonfunctional landing page and running a Google ad campaign for that, but I would like to learn about other options.
Are there any good resources on this topic?
