It's a very valid observation that a fleshed-out platform is not required to gauge market interest or even product-market fit, but the further convoluted your non-technical technology-based platform gets, the more painful it will be to move past the inevitable impasse brought on by the limitations of a closed vendor system, be that a cost limitation or a capability limitation. A wordpress blog to start is fine. Point and click/WYSIWYG web apps and mobile apps? Possibly, but there are more pitfalls. I wholly support this post because I think entrepreneurship should be more accessible and not less, but I'd love to see the complement to this, something that helps the very technical build more with less, and how to build just enough to continue that incremental validation.
