I smell a little bit of design snobbery along with a false premise or two.
I've never seen anyone advocate that an MVP can/should be "broken". Only that it should have very few features ("minimum"). That it should help solve a core problem better than the current way of doing things.
This entire post is conflating "doesn't work" with "doesn't look pretty to me". No one is advocating an MVP shouldn't do what it claims. BUT an MVP should not have tons of visual polish. That is what Bootstrap is for, sorry.
If you show me an MVP that saves me 1 hour a day but looks like Craigslist, I will still open my wallet immediately.
- robertnealan 13y agoWhile I naturally want the UI to look nice as a designer, I'd personally have no issues shipping a prototype/MVP using a framework like Bootstrap. What I won't stand for is when a product being an "MVP" is an excuse for shipping code that hasn't been tested properly and/or has no thought to the UX. Craigslist may look like 1995 but it still does a better job than any direct competitor out there.
