Ask HN: Is the MVP required in this case?
When you have a new idea, you have to think about the market’s needs and your project’s viability. The best way to do this is to start with the MVP, a stripped-down version of your product that helps you confirm whether there’s enough interest in your concept and how you plan to execute it.<p>But if you want to build something similar to an existing product, with a few upgrades and validated ideas, should you still build the MVP? if yes, what kind of MVP should you build? And do you need to perform idea validation before development?
