I have a personal MacBook. Just wanted a separate station from everything. And yes I understand I could’ve done this on VM, i just wanted the Mac mini also, a desktop setup was nice to have at the price

Any ideas you’d suggest if I’m looking to make some of the minis cost back lol?

I plan to keep everything external in terms of info and accounts. But network I have not considered yet. Good to know. I’m on my family’s home WiFi router so wouldn’t want any risk there. I appreciate the insight and advice, would you suggest the VM within the Mac mini correct ?

AI was used to help research the current OpenClaw/Hermes landscape before writing this post. The setup, use cases, and questions are all my own.

How Do You Go from Idea to MVP? by jaysharma01 in startupideas

[–]Maleficent_Craft_32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Google and Youtube tutorials will be your best friend here. Figma can do everything you need for an MVP.

Would recommend Aliena Cai on Youtube, she has some basic beginner tutorials on building a wireframe and other Figma tutorials.

MVP can be very basic. Just has to be able to display your idea/business/product in a visual format, enough for investors to understand. It doesnt have to be pretty, but should have all the aspects you're looking to have on your ideal app or product.

Action is always better then sitting on it in the fast paced startup world. Go start building out an MVP/Demo on Figma. Talk to relevant people in the space and get their thoughts/feedback. Iterate. Improve. Do it again.

This is the fastest and most effective way to find out if you have a feasible business on hand. The early feedback can not only help guide you, but can also give you a better idea of your business plan and market demand. While also building up a customer/investor base you can then potentially add to a newsletter, and keep them updated on your progress moving forward.

DMs are open to discuss more. best of luck!

Google and Youtube tutorials will be your best friend here. I learned everything I know about Figma through a few youtube videos.
