i don't disagree that there's value in using this stuff. a lot of value. but doing only this is not an MVP. "P" = product, something you're selling, somethin

there should be another name for this. MVI maybe? minimum viable idea?
- coreymaass 15y agoWhile talking with Bob Walsh on the Startup Success podcast a couple weeks ago, he came up with "Minimal Viable Experience" which I think applies well here: http://startupsuccesspodcast.com/2011/11/show-124-corey-maass-thebirdy-com/ http://startupsuccesspodcast.com/2011/11/show-124-corey-maas...
- betterth 15y agoWikipedia's article on mvp (I know, I know), includes this: >The canonical MVP strategy for a web application is to create a mock website for the product and purchase online advertising to direct traffic to the site. The mock website may consist of a marketing landing page with a link for more information or purchase. The link is not connected to a purchasing system, instead clicks are recorded and measure customer interest. from: [wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_viable_product#Techniques http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_viable_product#Techniqu...) That seems to directly contradict the implication of 'mvp' that you're using, which is that it MUST be a viable product that customers can use. EDIT: The best part of markdown is when it isn't supported, the code is very readable. I say leave it!
- noodle 15y agothe wikipedia article seems to me to be referring to an MVP more as a process, and the smoke testing by creating mock websites as one part of that process. i can agree with that, on some level, but i still feel that to have a complete MVP (process), you necessarily have to have a P at the end of it.
