Ask HN: How long did your MVP take to develop?
Wonder how long did it take to ship your first product and how did you end up building it. Did you outsourced it someone to build, or just stack it up with available tools?
That's doing the tech stuff solo and having a partner think about all the UX and product stuff.
Working as a team takes a lot longer in my experience for some reason. Teams with a FE and BE guy end up taking around 2 months to get something into the user's hands. Outsourcing to a team could well take 4 months and man-years to pay off half the tech debt.
It’s all relative and it’s important to set small achievable goals that you can increment continuously with consistent effort.
Replica of the above one but lighter version 10 hrs. Built in 2020 (4 digit MRR)
Immigrants platform - around 30-40 hrs - built in 2021 (5 digit MRR) - outsourced 20%
I have a technical issue in my mvp that seems like an open question in my field and I don't know how to proceed.
I'm almost sending a email to my competitor to check how do they overcome it lol
I'm always happy to talk shop with competitors - at worst they'll just ignore you.
(tl;dr: paid for Tailwind UI, paid for Divjoy, had been building React + Node apps for 5 years before using the same stack to build my own product)
