Comment on Ask HN: What are some great examples of a Minimum Viable Product?parent

Comments

It might have started off that way. I didn't download it until recently. But nowadays it has all sorts of social networking features I think would disqualify it from being an MVP.

An MVP doesn't have to remain an MVP, right? I would think the purpose of an MVP is to gain traction to be able to expand upon the core product.

The purpose of an MVP is to quit screwing around with maybes and some-days and get moving.

Also, expanding is often not so good a thing as refining. It's usually better to have one or two features which are well-refined versus a great many features which aren't well-integrated and which you lack the resources to support.
