Hey PH family! If you are looking to build something fast & for free to test your ideas follow these steps: Day 1 1. Start with writing value prop: what problems and for who you are solving? Use Business Model Canvas, Value Prop Canvas, or Problem statements. . No-code tools: all of these can be done as visual stickers in Miro. Day 2 2. Based on defined value prop form hypothesis and testing methodology. Use user interviews, questionnaires, market research, competitors research. For user interviews write down hypotheses -> questions to validate. Set up 5 interviews with the possible target audience. Tools: Google Doc & Spreadsheet for documentation, Twitter/PH/Telegram chats for getting participants, Notion or Airtbale for organizing your research. Calendly + Zoom for setting up calls. Day 3 3. Mock your value prop into a scrappy clickable design in Figma or build a one-page website in Tilda, Wix, Webflow. Use free UI kits, free website builders' templates. Use AI text generators to get a copy based on competitors' texts + your value prop. Day 4 4. Run testing. Read "The Mom Test book before". Validate if your hypothesis made sense. Iterate, improve document insights. Day 5 5. Spend a day thinking Re-iterate value prop, re-iterate website, choose a no-code tool for building one-feature MVP in the next 5 days. Consider Bubble, Softr, or many other cool no-code tools (https://www.welovenocode.com/mvp...) I've been building stuff since 2015 and just recently released 5 side projects with WeLoveNoCode, so those tips really work. While there are tons of other things in product development even such an algorithm can move you closer to making your idea from "to do" to "scrappy something done.
