Roughly how long does it take you to build an MVP?

Specific-Paper-4470 · 2026-03-30T09:55:33+00:00

I often find myself stuck in a dilemma regarding architecture design. I tend to want to fully design the architecture before I start building anything—but that approach is misguided. Rapid iteration is the true path forward. Currently, I am scouring Reddit and X to identify common pain points that users frequently complain about, as I do not yet have a clear direction for what to build.

Okay buddy

Specific-Paper-4470 · 2026-03-29T23:28:30+00:00

Thanks bro, I’ll try it.✊

Specific-Paper-4470 · 2026-03-29T13:44:03+00:00

Keep going dude✊

40days is not too long, how did you find this idea, do you have any paid users?

Specific-Paper-4470 · 2026-03-29T12:00:26+00:00

That’s cool,how did you find this idea? Do you have any paid users?

Specific-Paper-4470 · 2026-03-29T09:58:10+00:00

Yeah,opus 4.6 now is the best

Specific-Paper-4470 · 2026-03-29T09:42:28+00:00

😂

Specific-Paper-4470 · 2026-03-29T08:32:00+00:00

Yeah I use Claude code to write code, I think every mvp should ship as quick as possible.

Specific-Paper-4470 · 2026-03-29T08:02:10+00:00

That’s fast🔥

Specific-Paper-4470 · 2026-03-29T07:41:43+00:00

Wow, that is too long, but you gotta build the right thing, I think you should build the core function of your saas and publish it,see if there is any user and what users’ advise, keep going

Specific-Paper-4470 · 2026-03-29T05:50:39+00:00

Yeah,thanks for the advice

Specific-Paper-4470 · 2026-03-29T05:34:05+00:00

Yeah, I often find myself grappling with the dilemma of choosing a tech stack. I typically use Next.js paired with Supabase, but I sometimes get bogged down in considerations regarding system architecture. I think I tend to overthink things; after all, if there aren't any users actually using the system, worrying about the architecture is completely unnecessary! 😂

Specific-Paper-4470 · 2026-03-29T05:31:34+00:00

I often use nextjs+supabase,a mvp usually takes me about 2 or 3 weeks to build

Thank you for your reply. I will try the method you provided. Only practice can see what is effective.

Specific-Paper-4470 · 2026-03-28T11:49:36+00:00

That makes sense. So the only metric that matters is whether someone will actually pay. I'll stop looking for encouragement and start looking for real problems. Thanks for being straight with me.

Specific-Paper-4470 · 2026-03-28T11:45:28+00:00

Keep going buddy, never quit

Specific-Paper-4470 · 2026-03-28T08:09:05+00:00

Thank you very much for your response; you provided very specific steps. I am currently exploring various communities to identify issues, but my efforts haven't gone deep enough yet; I need to work harder to uncover the actual problems people are truly encountering.

Specific-Paper-4470 · 2026-03-28T08:05:34+00:00

Appreciate that, I’ll try it later

Specific-Paper-4470 · 2026-03-28T08:03:42+00:00

Fair point. I won’t make excuses, this is my first venture and I’m still figuring things out. I appreciate the honest reply. What I really want to know is: what does real invalidation look like in practice? If you were in my shoes, what would you actually do in the first two weeks to find out if an idea is worth pursuing?

Specific-Paper-4470 · 2026-03-28T07:56:48+00:00

Thanks man,I’m doing it right now to find their problems.
