I'm a software developer with an idea for a productivity app, and while I know the concept of building a Minimum Viable Product is crucial, I'm struggling to define what 'viable' actually means for my target users. I'm caught between including enough core features to be useful and keeping it so lean that it feels incomplete and fails to attract early testers. For other founders who have successfully launched an MVP, how did you determine your non-negotiable feature set? What feedback channels did you set up to learn from your first users without getting distracted by every feature request, and how did you balance speed to market with the need for a stable, albeit basic, user experience?
