I’ve been effortlessly developing my MVP for 11 months now. My iOS app was done way early but I was not mentally ready to release it. Every time I wanted to release I would tell myself that I just need to add another feature and that the app is still premature.

Without noticing I fell into the rabbit hole and was implementing every feature I was thinking of.

What happened after 11 months of doing this? The to-do list was just getting bigger and bigger, and I was mentally and physically exhausted. I knew in my heart I cannot continue like this.

Saturday after work I came home to continue on my app but while opening my laptop said I just couldn’t continue anymore and said ‘screw it’. I suddenly decided to release it as is. It is now or never!

I hit the release button on App Store and was waiting for a big fail. Less than 1 day and it started making sales!!!

What did I learn?The M in MVP stands for minimum guys! Minimum! It took me 11 months to learn this. Don’t do my mistake! Do the minimum and release. The rest is different story!

    Conngrats :) Been there, done that! Releasing is scary. What if people will hate it? What if it ends up with zero sales? So you just delay it and add one more feature. But releasing fast is always the way to go. If you need a coding buddy to talk to for advice and share experiences, send me a message!
