We did this with flow.cloudomatic.com a few months back. We knew there was a need for affiliate software for web apps from our own problems, but that seemed like horseshit. So we did the whole MVP smoke test thing with a sign-up page before we even started developing it. Best decision I've ever made. We have a number much larger than ten and we saved ourselves the possibility of building something people didn't want.
- cloudkj 16y agoOut of curiosity, how'd you drive traffic to the MVP/smoke test landing page?
- jasonlbaptiste 16y agoIt's kind of funny and part of the validation - an interested customer/user posted it to HN before we were even ready to announce it. I was on a call and all of a sudden the live stats counter goes apeshit and the referral traffic is from HN. The user said: "Sorry if this wasn't meant to be posted yet, but I'm so excited by it, I had to share it"
