How much does an MVP cost, and what drives it? 💰
There’s no fixed price, but these 5 things move the number most:
1️⃣ Platforms. One platform costs less than iOS + Android. React Native gets you both from one codebase.
2️⃣ Custom backend vs. Firebase/Supabase. Ready-made backends save weeks
3️⃣ Payments and subscriptions. Stripe or RevenueCat is fast. Marketplaces with payouts take much longer
4️⃣ Integrations. Every third-party API adds work and failure points
5️⃣ Design. A UI kit is quick. A fully custom design system is not.
Good breakdown of the tradeoffs.

Login page idea design
A playful visual concept where the character literally “arms” himself depending on the strength of the password.
As the user creates a stronger password, the character progressively equips himself with more powerful protection and armor. The stronger the password, the better prepared and more protected he becomes.
The idea turns password security into a simple and engaging visual metaphor , instead of showing abstract security levels, the user can immediately see how their password makes the character stronger and safer.
Very cool, Anna!
