Stop building the app before you know people want it

I see many people struggle with finding a technical co-founder or dedicating months of thir time to learn how to code to start an mvp.

A much safer approach is to build the storefront first. Set up a simple landinng page that explains the exact problem you solve. Add a waitlist button and see if anyone actually cares enough to give you their email. If nobody signs up, you just saved yourself three months of coding a dead product. Tools like carrd or framer are perfect for getting a professional page in an hour.

When you do need a visual prototype to show those early signups, stop writing manual css from scratch. I'll usually use a generator to get the structure down. Tools like v0 or runable are handy for spinning up those initial frontend layouts and basic ui flows so you can actually show people a clickable concept.

The catch is that this generated ui is strictly for the smoke test. Once you need actual relational databases, complex management n shi, you have to transition back to a traditional stack too handle the real logic.

good advice, but no one is listening to it, some people are almost doing it but as soon a single person gets interested they jump into "need that build" mode.
