The MVP Mistake: Confusing Minimum with Mediocre
They launched their MVP, and nobody used it.
Not because the idea was wrong, but because the execution was sloppy.
I recently reviewed a promising app where the founder said, "We kept it simple, just the core features." Yet, the app had broken flows, misaligned buttons, inconsistent typography, and generic error messages.
Their reasoning: "It's just an MVP. We'll polish it later."
Here's what they missed: Users don't care that it's your first version. They are asking: "Does this solve my problem?" and "Can I trust this company?"
A rushed, buggy MVP tells them your entire business is the same way.
MVP means cutting features, not quality.
✅ Focus on: Flawless core functionality, a consistent visual language, smooth user flows, and a professional polish.
