There is more than one way to build a product
Hey indie hackers. My name is Tiago and I am the host of the Wannabe Entrepreneur Podcast. Since I started this project that I got the chance to interview tons of entrepreneurs and to learn from their journey building their products.
I don't particularly like this approach because it is very dangerous. By assuming what your clients will need before actually testing you have the risk of building an unusable product. However, there are success cases particularly if you build a great piece of software that ends up being aquired by a bigger company. That is what happened to the codeprints that end up being aquired not long after my interview with them...
This is my favorite approach but recently I have been discovering that might not be the most effective... You start by identifying a problem that you want to solve and then build the most simple version of a product that solves the problem. After doing so you release it to the world and work on the next iteration based on the user's feedback.
With this approach, you tend to build a great usable product and your biggest challenge becomes how to acquire users. The Marketing Problem!!! That gives nightmares to all indie makers.
