MVP Development workflows for SaaS teams
Scope before you build
Most MVPs fail before a line of code is written — due to unclear scope. Define your one-sentence problem statement, minimal feature list, and data model before starting.
Boring stack, fast execution
For 90% of web products: Next.js, Supabase, Tailwind, Vercel. This stack is proven, fast to build with AI assistance, and removes decision paralysis.
AI-assisted development workflow
AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude) dramatically accelerate development — but require human code review before production. Ship fast, audit before launch.
The production audit
Before launch: check auth flows, input validation, rate limiting, and database queries. Fast builds accumulate security and performance debt that must be cleared.
