I always thought of the MVP as the most stripped down version of what you are trying to build that people are willing to pay for or use. I wouldn't confuse it with a landing page with a signup form. Let's say I'm building an app that will make web design so easy all you have to do is scan a handwritten page and it generates a complete website. You can even sketch out crude design ideas and it will translate them into CSS. Fold the paper in half and scan it and it'll make a mobile site. Well that's going to take some doing, so before I get too deep into it, I want to test the waters. I'll start with just the basics. Scan a stack of typewritten pages, and I'll generate a WordPress XML file with one post per scanned page. That's my MVP, because I think that's good enough for someone to pay $5 for. I don't feel bad about taking payments because people are getting something for their money. If I get a big response, I'll have the confidence to move forward, and a pool of users requesting features. If all I hear are crickets, well that's useful too.
