Building a good MVP takes practice. The minimum bar is going to be different on every app. It is confusing and tricky.
I think it makes more sense to figure out the one thing that your software needs to really nail to be the product that you are building.
For example, Dropbox is a fantastic example of this. They figured out the most simple way to sync files and nailed that. Put files in a folder and the machine syncs in the background. Want to share a file? Drop it in public or shared folder. It shares automatically.
I know Dropbox has a ton of other features that I never ever use. That's great for some people, but they nailed the core right away and built the rest around that.
Instead of building a "minimum" product that may or may not suck, build the absolute simplest version of that one core feature and polish it to a shine. Polish tends to mean fixing a lot of little bugs, UI issues, and UX issues like password resetting.
Simplicity is hard and making it beautiful is even harder.
