bootstrap a startup is an art. no decision is final, many of your decisions would become invalid in days. if the product is for general public then 1) can be started as a side project 2) Friends and family may use first 3) Experiment the idea with 1000 lines or less code. 4) Don't prefect the idea, let it evolve 5) Don't go for startup events, mentors, investment etc 6) No co-founders until you get n number of users 7) Where can you get early users ? 8) do you use the product yourself ? 9) simplicity of the product is the key 10) no one is waiting, no one is caring your idea until it gets some traction. the list goes on.. many ideas i stopped in the middle, because myself not interested to continue. because ideas seems to good in one time, later it is boring to do.
