Fire Emblem Engage 18 - 20
Spoilers beneath the cut. This game is SO much fun to play, even if the plot is a bit basic.
Also, I'm shipping Alear with someone HARD.
Ok, so I paired Lief with Goldmary because I thought she'd benefit from the extra build staff and he 100% friendzoned her in their support, lamo.
Time for just about everyone to get Canto. About to see a lot of Sigurd's support conversations. Ivy, Hortensia, Seadall, Chloe, Goldmary, and Merrin are all getting Canto. Alfred already has it. I have Kagetsu with Sigurd right now and may or may not leave it that way. We'll see.
Ouch, Ivy's and Sigurd's support hurt. He talked about knowing the pain of a grieving child. My heart. 😭😭😭 His with Hortensia is pretty much the same. 😭😭😭
Goldmary commits to her gimmick. She is gaslight, gatekeep, and girlboss all in one.
Has anyone found a good use for Ike's blessing? It's makes everything so heavy and the rewards don't seem worth it.
Ok, so it looks like they already patched in (or added) a way to grind supports as a free update (I'm getting the DLC, but not yet). That was one of my biggest complaints about this game is how hard it is to get supports, esp since it encourages you to constantly replace your units, like every single freaking chapter almost throws superior units at you. Way worse than previous games. This should fix that a bit.
Oh, wow, and it got me Alfred and Yunaka's A support first time! I dropped her because I swear she didn't get a single strength point in her level ups, but their supports were really interesting so far. But I didn't get Ivy and Zelkov's C when they swam together so . . . not sure how strong this is, but it's welcome nonetheless. Doing it twice unlocked their C support. Not bad, esp if you have this from the start next time and can grind out more supports.
Rosado taking his life in his hands claiming he's cuter then Goldmary. And Yunaka and Alfred's final support was pretty cute.
Eirika talking about Lyon will never not hurt me. Her paralogue was a big step up in difficulty from Corrin, I feel. I think it was the map layout constricting movement so much and her wing sword making is harder to take advantage of the flier friendly areas.
Somniel is more fun gameplay wise than the Monastery because it's less necessary and feels less tedious, but man does it mess with the storyline way more than the Monastery did. Lief is like "there are still rings in trouble!" and Goldmary is just . . . lying in her bathing-suit and tanning. It's unintentionally funny.
Sombron is pissed that he lost Eirika and Sigurd. No mention of Lief though. 😭
So . . . Alear and Veyle are siblings, right? That means Lumera had sex with that dude.
Yessssss I was so hyped seeing a chapter on the water. I love ship battles. And a recruitable enemy too! This is like old-school FE.
So "the Miracle" that all the Emblems are discussing and mentioning Lumera, is it reviving someone back to life? Also, cool that Sigurd took the lead there.
Man, I just had one of the most satisfying overrides yet. It was during Lief's paralogue, and Kagetsu!Sigurd with Ridersbane must've taken out like 6 of Lief's mage horses.
I also sent Alfred way out by himself to chase down the speedwing on Lief's map. I "told him" that if he survived, he'd get the speedwing. Boy tanked everything like a champ and ended up MVP of the battle (deserved), so now he's 2 points faster.
Both Kagetsu and Ivy are level 19, so I'm doing Ch 19 before Sigurd's paralogue hoping they reach 20 there, and I can reset before doing that chapter where there's a TON of units to fight.
Are we going to fight wolves AGAIN? I hope they die for good this time.
So is Mauvier only staying with the 4 wolves to protect Veyle? Or partly? So I still predict we can recruit him later. I wish we could recruit Griss. Dude is unhinged. I'd love to see supports lol.
I think it's cool that Alear wanted to leave the area because there's no one left. But also fell a bit harder for Alfred who struggled with that decision the most.
This map is going to be VERY annoying with all that purple shit everywhere. Though, do I get Micaiah and Roy back after this?
It's amazing to me that we can destroy the Wolves so many times, and they keep trash talking. Somehow. They're so pathetic. And then, yet again, our heroes are chitchatting and somehow the enemies keep running away. I think it's best you just turn your brain off.
Alfred is like, "should we really let them go?" The voice of reason, finally. But Roy and Micaiah back!
I like Ivy so much more than I expected too. She's hilarious. Her B support with Panette was gold (and some really good voice acting too).
Why does no one ever want to spar with Kagetsu? 😭 There are so many supports about sparring, but not poor Kagetsu. He needs to support Alfred. He's always down for training.
There are so many characters I want to use next time because I like their personalities: Jade, Citrinne, Rosado, Fogado, Zelkov, and Boucheron are some. Pannette has promise. Lapis seems cute. I'm sure Timerra MUST have more to her than songs about eating meat.
Chloe and Merrin are girlfriends. Also, Goldmary starts stripping naked in her support with Framme. Didn't put that on my bingo card.
Micaiah's paralogue map is an amazing choice. Alcryst is the 3-13 Archer this time I guess lol. And there's a stand-in for Sothe too I see. Glad he got a little shout out there.
I GOT THE DEER 😭
Goldmary needs some real issues in her life. Homegirl is having a breakdown because she made a funny face while eating. Who knew her and Framme's support would have so much entertainment?
So at the end of Roy's paralogue he's like "I used to know this demon dragon who wanted to wipe out humanity, you kinda remind me of her." Uh, thanks??? What are you trying to say exactly, Roy?
Mauvier is a Camus archtype 100%, except hope he's recruitable.
Alfred's reassuring Alear. I swear, these two are literally perfect for each other. I've never shipped a self-insert character with someone this hard before.
Oh, will I get Celica back this time? She deserves much better than Griss. He's like the anti-thesis of what Celica stands for.
How come Griss gets to use Ragranok every. single. turn. I never get to do that. Kagetsu finally sent that asshole back to his tile. Couldn't have done it if I didn't trust Alfred a metric fuck ton and just sent him out there.
Woop, got Celica back. She's free! Only Marth left.
Griss was easy to deal with after he stopped attacking me every round. Also, why are we not killing Griss and just letting him laugh about whatever he's so amused over.
Poor Alear just learned that she's the child of Sombron. Ok, Alear needs some headpats. She's confused how she can be Lumera's and the Fell Dragon's child. My dear, it takes two.
Alfred says he doesn't believe it. The only one who said something to try and help her feelings and not about the situation.
I like seeing Sigurd get more focus again. I really hope this means FE4 remake is coming.
So Lumera isn't Alear's blood mother? But, the writers DO know you need two to have a baby divine/fell dragon, right?
Alfred being the first to support Alear 😭😊❤️ And so unquestioning and complete about it. Alear's response to him got me too. Like, I'm falling for this ship hook, line, sinker. I'm going to have a hard time pairing up Alear or Alfred with anyone else unless their S-Support is a dud.
Like, I like Dimileth and Chrobin well enough and all, but I ship all 4 of those with other people too, and sometimes more (like Dimitri and Chrom). But, like, I ONLY am shipping Alfred and Alear with each other so far.
I love how casual Alear is seeing Mauvier wander up, when like we've fought to kill each other multiple times.
Also, I'm rich again! Thank you, Elusia. I may actually be able to afford the cute outfits now.

Why seo is important for business
What does SEO stand for?
SEO stands for search engine optimization. Let’s break that down in the context of your website.
Search: What people do when they want to find an answer to a question or a product or service that meets their needs.
Search engine: A site (like Google or Bing) where a person can perform said search.
Search engine optimization: What you do to get said search engine to connect said search with your site.
Seo is a set of practices designed to improve a website's visibility in search engine’s feed . seo is to attract more organic (non-paid) traffic to the website by making it more appealing to search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo.
What is S.E.O ( SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION ) : -
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. It’s a set of practices aimed at improving the visibility and ranking of a website or web page in search engine results pages (SERPs). The goal is to increase organic (non-paid) traffic to a site by making it more appealing to search engines like Google.
It is the help in The higher your site ranks, the more likely it is to be seen by users searching for relevant topics or keywords.
Definition of S.E.O : Search engine optimization is a set of technical and content practices aimed at aligning a website page with a search engine’s ranking algorithm so it can be easily found, crawled, indexed, and surfaced in the SERP for relevant queries.
SEO is what you do to rank higher on Google and get more traffic to your site.
Yes, Google is just one search engine of many. There’s Bing. Directory search engines. Even Instagram is a search engine. But capturing 90.48% of the market share, the terms “Google” and “search engine” are synonymous for the intents and purposes of this post.
Benefits & importance of SEO :-
The seo is very must & imp. For the website of business and the best seo service provider is helpful in growing your business People are searching for any manner of things both loosely and directly related to your business. These are all opportunities to connect with these people, answer their questions, solve their problems, and become a trusted resource for them.
More website traffic: When your site is optimized for search engines, it gets more traffic which equates to increased brand awareness, as well as…
More customers: To get your site optimized, it has to target keywords—the terms your ideal customers/visitors are searching—meaning you’ll get more relevant traffic.
Better reputation: Ranking higher on Google builds instant credibility for your business. If Google trusts you, then people trust you.
Higher ROI: You put money into your website, and into the marketing campaigns that lead back to your website pages. A top-performing site improves the fruits of those campaigns, making your investment worth it.
Types of SEO :-
Google and other search engines take several factors into account when ranking content, and as such SEO has many facets. The core three types of SEO are on-page, off-page, and technical SEO:
On-page SEO: Optimizing the quality and structure of the content on a page. Content quality, keywords, and HTML tags are the key players for on-page SEO.
Off-page SEO: Getting other sites, and other pages on your site to link to the page you are trying to optimize. Backlinks, internal linking, and reputation are your off-page MVPs.
Technical SEO: Improving your site’s overall performance on search engines. Site security (SSL certificates), UX, and structure are key here.
The above three types of SEO are used for websites and blogs, but they also apply to three subtypes of SEO:
Local SEO: Getting your business to rank as high as possible in Google Maps and on the local results of the SERP. Reviews, listings, and Google Business profile optimization are most important here.
Image SEO: A mix of on-page and technical strategies to get images on your website pages to rank in Google image search.
Video SEO: A mix of on-page, technical, and off-page strategies to get your videos to rank in YouTube or Google video results.
How does SEO work?
So how does Google know which pages to show in the search engine results page (SERP) for any relevant search? How does this engage traffic to your website? Let’s take a look at how SEO works. :-
Google’s search crawlers constantly scan the web, gathering, categorizing, and storing the billions of web pages out there in its index. When you search for something and Google pulls up results, it’s pulling from its index, not the web itself.
Google uses a complex formula (called an algorithm) to order results based on a number of criteria (ranking factors—which we’ll get into next) including the quality of the content, its relevance to the search query, the website (domain) it belongs to, and more.
How people interact with results then further indicates to Google the needs that each page is (or isn’t) satisfying, which also gets factored into the algorithm.
SEO tools :-
You can’t carry out effective search engine optimization without data, and to get data, you need tools. Luckily, most of them are free. The best SEO tools for an optimal SEO strategy are:
Google Analytics: This is the gold standard for website traffic analytics, and it’s free. Use it for any and all SEO metrics to measure your performance, such as traffic, time on page, engagement with page, number of pages per session, and (lots) more.
Google Search Console: GSC is essential for content-focused and technical SEO. Although some Search Console data appears in Google Analytics, there is a lot you get in the platform on its own. Use it for Core Web Vitals, granular query analyses, indexing, and more.
Keyword research tools: As mentioned above, you’ll need these so you can find keywords that are realistic for you to target in terms of search volume and competition. Use my roundup of the best paid and free keyword research tools to find the right one for you.
SEO software: If you’re going to look at deeper SEO metrics like backlinks, competitive information, and more advanced keyword data, you’ll need a paid SEO tool like Ahrefs, Moz Pro, Screaming Frog, SEMrush, etc. Some of these offer free trial versions or free services for the first 500 (or something) links.
Website graders: Whereas the aforementioned tools are often complex and require you to know how to make sense of the data.

Week 12. Group Updates (Traction Channel, Updated MVP, and Product-Market Fit Customer Discovery)
In Week 12, our team, PowerpuffX, made significant strides in refining our project, CaféComfy. Our pitch deck, covered updates on our traction channel, the revised MVP, and our ongoing customer discovery efforts for product-market fit. Here are some detailed insights from our presentation.
▽ Updated Traction Channel
Initially, our traction strategy relied heavily on social media marketing. However, based on feedback and further research, we refined our approach to include:
• Social Media and Display Ads: We’re launching targeted ads on social media platform through Facebook to effectively reach our target customers—students and remote workers in Cagayan de Oro. These ads will highlight the convenience and benefits of using CaféComfy.
• Partnerships: We’re building partnerships by exploring business opportunities with local cafes, study hubs, and co-working spaces. These partnerships aim to enhance our app’s offerings and attract more users through exclusive deals and promotions.
• Customer Feedback through Surveys: To better understand our users' needs and preferences, we conducted surveys using Google Forms. This allowed us to gather comments and suggestions directly from our customers, helping us refine our features and improve user satisfaction. The feedback collected has been instrumental in shaping our app’s development.
▽ Updated MVP
Our Minimum Viable Product (MVP) has undergone significant improvements based on user feedback and validation
• Curated List of Cafes: We now feature a well-curated list of cafes and study hubs, complete with detailed descriptions and user reviews. This helps users make informed choices quickly.
• Table Reservation System: Users can now reserve tables directly through the app, ensuring they always have a spot when they arrive.
• Review and Rating System: Users can rate and review the cafes they visit, providing valuable feedback for both the cafes and other users.
▽ Product-Market Fit and Customer Discovery
Understanding our target market better has been crucial. We focused on discovering the specific needs and preferences of our users:
• Target Market: Our primary users are students and remote workers in Cagayan de Oro. We validated our assumptions by interviewing 10 students and remote workers, all of whom expressed interest in using CaféComfy.
• Validation and Feedback: We conducted thorough MVP validation, with 10 out of 10 users willing to pay the ₱10 commission transaction for bookings. This strong validation shows that our app meets a genuine need.
• Customer Discovery: Ongoing conversations with our users have helped us fine-tune our app’s features and user experience. We learned that accurate information and the ability to reserve a spot are critical features for our users.

histdir
So I've started a stupid-simple shell/REPL history mechanism that's more friendly to Syncthing-style cloud sync than a history file (like basically every shell and REPL do now) or a SQLite database (which is probably appropriate, and it's what Atuin does while almost single-handedly dragging CLI history UX into the 21st century):
You have a history directory.
Every history entry gets its own file.
The file name of a history entry is a hash of that history entry.
The contents of a history entry file is the history entry itself.
So that's the simple core concept around which I'm building the rest. If you just want a searchable, syncable record of everything you ever executed, well there you go. This was the smallest MVP, and I implemented that last night - a little shell script to actually create the histdir entries (entry either passed as an argument or read on stdin if there's no entry argument), and some Elisp code in my Emacs to replace Eshell's built-in history file save and load. Naturally my loaded history stopped remembering order of commands reliably, as expected, which would've been a deal-breaker problem in the long term. But the fact that it instantly plugged into Syncthing with no issues was downright blissful.
(I hate to throw shade on Atuin... Atuin is the best project in the space, I recommend checking it out, and it significantly inspired the featureset and UX of my current setup. But it's important for understanding the design choices of histdir: Atuin has multiple issues related to syncing - histdir will never have any sync issues. And that's part of what made it so blissful. I added the folder to Syncthing - no separate account, no separate keys, nothing I must never lose. In most ways, Atuin's design choice of a SQLite database is just better. That's real, proper engineering. Serious software developers all know that this is exactly the kind of thing where a database is better than a bunch of files. But one benefit you get from this file-oriented granularity is that if you just design the naming scheme right, history entries never collide/conflict in the same file. So we get robust sync, even with concurrent use, on multiple devices - basically for free, or at least amortized with the setup effort for whatever solution you're using to sync your other files (none of which could handle updates from two different devices to a single SQLite database). Deleting a history entry in histdir is an "rm"/"unlink" - in Atuin it's a whole clever engineering puzzle.)
So onto preserving order. In principle, the modification time of these files is enough for ordering: the OS already records when they were last written to, so if you sort on that, you preserve history order. I was initially going to go with this, but: it's moderately inconvenient in some programming languages, it can only handle a 1-to-1 mapping (one last-modified timestamp) even though many uses of history might prefer an n-to-1 (an entry for every time the command was called), and it requires worrying about questions like "does {sync,copy,restore-from-backup,this-programmatic-manipulation-I-quickly-scripted} preserve the timestamp correctly?"
So tonight I did what any self-respecting drank-too-much-UNIX-philosophy-coolaid developer would do: more files. In particular:
Each call of a history entry gets its own file.
The file name of a call is a timestamp.
The contents of a call file is the hash of the history entry file.
The hash is mainly serving the purpose of being a deterministic, realistically-will-never-collide-with-another-history-entry (literally other causes of collision like hackers getting into your box and overwriting your memory are certain and inevitable by comparison) identifier - in a proper database, this would just be the primary key of a table, or some internal pointer.
The timestamp files allow a simple lexical sort, which is a default provided by most languages, most libraries, and built in by default in almost everything that lists/iterates a directory. That's what I do in my latest Elisp code in my Emacs: directory-files does a lexical sort by default - it's not pretty from an algorithmic efficiency standpoint, but it makes the simplest implementation super simple. Of course, you could get reasonably more efficient if you really wanted to.
I went with the hash as contents, rather than using hardlinks or symlinks, because of programmatic introspection simplicity and portability. I'm not entirely sure if the programmatic introspection benefits are actually worth anything in practice. The biggest portability case against symlinks/hardlinks/etc is Windows (technically can do symlinks, but it's a privileged operation unless you go fiddle with OS settings), Android (can't do hardlinks at all, and symlinks can't exist in shared storage), and if you ever want to have your histdir on something like a USB stick or whatever.
Depending on the size of the hash, given that the typical lengths of history entries might be rather short, it might be better for deduplication and storage to just drop the hash files entirely, and leave only the timestamp files. But it's not necessarily so clear-cut.
Sure, the average shell command is probably shorter by a wide margin than a good hash. The stuff I type into something like a Node or Python REPL will trend a little longer than the shell commands. But now what about, say, URLs? That's also history, it's not even that different conceptually from shell/REPL history, and I haven't yet ruled out it making sense for me to reuse histdir for that.
And moreover, conceptually they achieve different goals. The entry files are things that have been in your history (and that you've decided to keep). They're more of a toolbox or repertoire - when you do a fuzzy search on history to re-run a command, duplicates just get in the way. Meanwhile, call files are a "here's what I did", more of a log than a toolbox.
And obviously this whole histdir thing is very expandable - you could have other files containing metadata. Some metadata might be the kind of thing we'd want to associate with a command run (exit status, error output, relevant state like working directory or environment variables, and so on), but other stuff might make more sense for commands themselves (for example: this command is only useful/valid on [list of hosts], so don't use it in auto-complete and fuzzy search anywhere else).
So... I think it makes sense to have history entries and calls to those entries "normalized" into their own separate files like that. But it might be overkill in practice, and the value might not materialize in practice, so that's more in the TBD I guess.
So that's where I'm at now. A very expandable template, but for now I've just replicated basic shell/REPL history, in an a very high-overhead way. A big win is great history sync almost for free, without a lot of the technical downsides or complexity (and with a little effort to set up inotify/etc watches on a histdir, I can have newly sync'ed entries go directly into my running shells/REPLs... I mean, within Emacs at least, where that kind of across-the-board malleability is accessible with a reasonably low amount of effort). Another big win is that in principle, it should be really easy to build on existing stuff in almost any language to do anything I might want to do. And the biggest win is that I can now compose those other wins with every REPL I use, so long as I can either wrap that REPL a little bit (that's how I'll start, with Emacs' comint mode), or patch the common libraries like readline to do histdir, or just write some code to translate between a traditional history file and my histdir approach.
At every step of the way, I've optimized first and foremost for easiest-to-implement and most-accessible-to-work-with decision. So far I don't regret it, and I think it'll help a lot with iteratively trying different things, and with all sorts of integration and composition that I haven't even thought of yet. But I'll undoubtedly start seeing problems as my histdirs grow - it's just a question of how soon and how bad, and if it'll be tractable to fix without totally abandoning the approach. But it's also possible that we're just at the point where personal computers and phones are powerful enough, and OS and FS optimizations are advanced enough, that the overhead will never be perceptible to me for as long as I live - after all, its history for an interface with a live human.
So... happy so far. It seems promising. Tentatively speaking, I have a better daily-driver shell history UX than I've ever had, because I now have great reliable and fast history sync across my devices, without regressions to my shell history UX (and that's saying something, since I was already very happy with zsh's vi mode, and then I was even more happy with Eshell+Eat+Consult+Evil), but I've only just implemented it and given it basic testing. And I remain very optimistic that I could trivially layer this onto basically any other REPL with minimal effort thanks to Emacs' comint mode.

Discuss How Web Development Services Can Benefit Startups
Web Development for Startups: Discuss how web development services can benefit startups, from MVP development to scaling a digital presence.
Startups, often characterized by limited resources and a passion for innovation, have a unique set of challenges and opportunities. In the digital age, web development services are a vital component for startups looking to bring their vision to life and achieve growth. In this article, we’ll explore how web development services can benefit startups, from Minimum Viable Product (MVP) development to scaling a robust digital presence.
1. MVP Development: Turning Ideas into Reality
Minimum Viable Product (MVP) development is a cornerstone for startups. It involves creating a simplified version of your product with the core features that solve a specific problem or address a unique need. Web development plays a crucial role in this initial phase by:
Rapid Prototyping: Web developers can quickly create functional prototypes that allow startups to test and validate their ideas with minimal investment.
User Feedback: MVPs are an opportunity to gather valuable user feedback, enabling startups to refine and improve their product based on real-world usage.
Cost Efficiency: Developing a web-based MVP is often more cost-effective than building a complete mobile application or software platform, making it an ideal starting point for startups with limited budgets.
2. Scalability: Preparing for Growth
As startups gain traction and user demand increases, scalability becomes a critical concern. Effective web development services can help startups prepare for growth by:
Scalable Architecture: Web developers can design and implement scalable architecture that allows the platform to handle increased traffic and data without performance degradation.
Database Optimization: Proper database design and optimization are essential for ensuring that the system can grow smoothly as more users and data are added.
Load Balancing: Load balancing distributes web traffic across multiple servers, ensuring that the system remains responsive and available, even during high-demand periods.
3. Mobile Responsiveness: Reaching a Wider Audience
With mobile device usage surpassing desktops, it’s essential for startups to have a web presence that is responsive and mobile-friendly. Web development services can ensure that your website or web application:
Adapts to Different Screens: A responsive design ensures that your site functions and looks good on various devices and screen sizes, from smartphones to tablets.
Improved User Experience: Mobile-responsive websites provide a seamless and enjoyable user experience, enhancing engagement and reducing bounce rates.
Enhanced SEO: Google and other search engines prioritize mobile-responsive websites in search results, potentially boosting your startup’s visibility.
4. User-Centric Design: Building Trust and Loyalty
A user-centric design is essential for startups looking to build trust and loyalty. Web development can help in the following ways:
Intuitive User Interface (UI): A well-designed UI simplifies user interaction and navigation, making the product user-friendly.
User Experience (UX): An optimized UX ensures that users enjoy using your product, leading to increased satisfaction and loyalty.
Branding and Consistency: Web developers can create a design that reflects your brand identity and maintains consistency throughout the user journey.
5. Security and Data Protection: Safeguarding User Information
For startups, maintaining the security and privacy of user data is paramount. Web development services can ensure that your platform is secure by:
Implementing Encryption: Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption and other security measures protect data transmitted between users and your server.
Data Backup and Recovery: Regular data backups and recovery procedures are vital for safeguarding information and minimizing data loss in case of unexpected events.
Authentication and Authorization: Implementing robust authentication and authorization mechanisms ensures that only authorized users can access sensitive data.
Conclusion: The Road to Startup Success
Web development is a driving force behind the success of startups. From MVP development to scalability, mobile responsiveness, user-centric design, security, and privacy, web development services provide the foundation for startups to innovate and grow. By partnering with skilled web developers and investing in their digital presence, startups can create a compelling and competitive edge in today’s dynamic business landscape.

What are The Key Benefits Of React Native For Startup
The world of app development is getting cutthroat, with new ideas and innovations coming to the fore regularly. The ease at which mobile apps can be developed has also led to an explosion in the number of developers creating them. Now, every startup is looking for ways to make their app stand out from the crowd and attract users to increase their reach.
With this in mind, why is React Native App Development so popular now? If you’re reading this article, it means you’ve probably heard something about React Native or are wondering if your organization should consider using it when developing your mobile app. In either case, we’ve got you covered! Let’s get started...
What is React Native?
React Native is a web app that uses the same programming language to build apps for both Android and iOS. It enables native application development with minimum code re-usage between platforms, eliminating the need to hire a separate team for every platform. This means you can write your app’s code once and then have it work on Android and iOS. This basically means that React Native app development is a kind of hybrid app development.
The React Native app is implemented using a combination of JavaScript and native components. Therefore, it can be seen as an extension of the famous React web development framework.
Why is React Native so popular?
React Native is a framework for developing mobile apps. It allows developers to create apps for Android and iOS using a single programming language, JavaScript. This means that developers can write fewer lines of code, resulting in lower costs and less time spent building the app.
This also means that an app built using React Native is native and doesn’t look like a web app that has been ported to mobile. It’s fully integrated with the host operating system and can take advantage of the device’s hardware and software features, including push notifications and in-app purchases.
Also Read: How To Build An MVP With React Native: The Best Ways To Help Startups
Since React Native apps are built with JavaScript, their code is easily shared between platforms. This means that development teams only need to create an app once, regardless of which operating system it will be used on. This is a huge advantage, as it means that startups can reduce the cost of creating and maintaining their app.
3 Key Benefits of React Native for Startups
Reduced App Development Time: Since React Native is a single codebase app, it can take less time to create it for Android and iOS. This means that developers can create apps for users and increase their reach quicker and more cheaply.
Reduced Cost and Risk: As we mentioned earlier, React Native is a single codebase app, it can also be used to create a single app for multiple features and functions. This means you can reuse code across platforms, unlike a native app, where you must build a separate app for Android and iOS. This will reduce the cost of building and maintaining the app, as the same code will be used, regardless of the platform.
Higher User Engagement: React Native is a single codebase app. It can also create a single app with multiple features and functions. This means you can reuse code across platforms, unlike a native app, where you must build a separate app for Android and iOS. This will reduce the cost of building and maintaining the app, as the same code will be used, regardless of the platform.
How to make the most of React Native for your startup?
Now that we know what React Native is and why it is so famous for startups, let's talk about how you can make the most of it for your business. You should keep several things in mind if you want to use the React Native framework for your startup.
First, you must ensure that your company hires the right developers. You should be looking for an experienced team with a background in mobile app development. You must also choose the right mobile app development company for your project.
Second, you must also ensure you choose the right tools for the job. Your tools will depend on what kind of app you want to create.
Also Read: Why Should Start-Up Businesses Go For React Native Mobile App Development?
Third, you will need to ensure that you have a clear goal and vision for your app. What do you want your app to do? What do you want your users to get out of it? These are essential questions that you should consider when creating your app.
Final Words: Should your startup use React Native?
If your startup is looking to create a new app or if you want to update an existing app, it’s a good idea to consider React Native. React Native is a single codebase app, and it can take less time to create it for Android and iOS. This means that developers can create apps for users and increase their reach quicker and more cheaply.
It can also increase user engagement, as it can be used to create a single app for multiple features and functions. This means you can reuse code across platforms, unlike a native app, where you must build a separate app for Android and iOS.

Just to add to some thoughts on donating.
If, like most people, you’re not mega rich and only have a little to give, it’s all the more important to be strategic in how you give. Don’t hate-donate. If some horrible candidate is running in a red district, don’t donate to the opposition candidate. Donate to a year round state (or district) level organization doing the ground level organizing.
The best kind of donation is small, monthly, and steady. Year in. Year out. Early money is like yeast, as Emily's List likes to say.
Money (and for that matter volunteering) that helps support turnout at the bottom of the ticket lifts all boats. A Democrat voting for School Board will vote for Senate. The reverse isn't necessarily true. It’s also an opportunity to turn out for young progressive candidates that can be the future.
Specifically some suggestions for year round organizations across the US.
Movement Voter Fund - MVP vets grassroots groups across the US, funds the most effective ones. This is a great one if you don’t know quite which group needs funds right now and which ones are doing okay. Read about their strategy.
Swing Left - SL moves blue $ and volunteers time to vetted purple states. Read about their strategy.
Sister District - SD does the same as SL, but focuses on state elections. Their strategy.
Organizations that are useful for vetting political charities. Flip the Vote, Walk the Walk.
Now some suggestions for how to donate to help grow long term organizations that are on the ground in the states above. Take a look. See what you like. Then commit to long term donations to any of these.
Arizona
Movement Voter Project AZ Fund - Benefits multiple orgs (and the same applies to all other MVP funds.
Northeast Arizona Native Democrats - Native run organization turning out votes on the Navajo, Hopi, and White Mountain Apache reservations. I volunteer/donate with them. It runs on a shoe string. All your $ go to turning out voting. Also a Daily Kos piece
Living United for Change in Arizona (LUCHA) - Organizes working-class people of color to take action on the issues most important to them and to advance social and economic justice for all.
Michican
Movement Voter Project MI Fund
Detroit Action - Union of Black and Brown, low and no-income, homeless and housing insecure Detroiters fighting for political power and housing and economic justice.
Montana
TurnPurple2Blue - Like MVP, benefits multiple groups
Western Native Voice - Native American led/run. And for those who don't realize this, natives are 6.5% of the population in Montana.
Nevada
Make the Road Action - Builds Latinx power in NV
Ohio
Stand up for Ohio
Pennsylvania
Movement Voter Project PA fund
One Pensylvania - Multiracial, intergenerational, and multi-issue statewide membership organization, with a focus on Black working families.
Wisconsin
Movement Voter Project WI Fund
Black Leaders Organizing for Communities - What it sounds like on the tin.
MVP has a fund for Native American voting power, and Native Voters have been critical in the last several elections, also it's a way to lift native power and uphold treaty obligations.
I'm going to put FL and TX in their own box, because I happen to think that $ there either is for the long term (not this election cycle - sorry) or you're hate donating. So if you long haul care about making change in FL and TX...
Forida
Movement Voter Project FL Fund -
Postcards to Voters - Write Dem voters in FL and giving them the info to register to vote by mail (plus a whole lot of US wide special elections). I don't donate, except in the form of stacks of postcards.
Texas
Movement Voter Project TX Fund
Mi Familia Vota - A civic engagement organization and long-time champion of civil rights working in Houston, Dallas, and expanding to the Rio Grande Valley.
And I realize CA's Senator will go blue, because CA is a blue state, but Central Valley matters is an coallition of Central Valley organizations that turn out voters in one of the poorest areas of the country with Republicans representatives blocking those areas from getting Federal and State grants.
2024 Senate Elections: You'd Better VOTE!
Yes it's election year yet again in America! but not just for President, almost as important will be the US Senate!
I'm not gonna lie this is a rough map for Democrats, we're playing a lot of defense in some pretty red states with even our best hopes for a pick up being pretty long shots. But even with narrow control of the Senate we've managed the biggest climate bill in American History a huge infrastructure bill thats bring high speed rail to America capped the price of insulin changed the law to allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices bring savings to everyone, and put over 160 federal judges on the bench, 2/3rds of whom are women and/or people of color the first time white men haven't been the majority of nominees by a President. So let's keep progress going by voting for, supporting, donating, and volunteering for the following candidates in the races that will decide the US Senate this year.
Arizona
Ruben Gallego (Hold)
After frustrating Democrats by repeatedly voting against major Democratic priorities, supporting the filibuster and putting donors over voters, Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema left the Democratic Party to become an independent in 2022. Democratic congressman Ruben Gallego was running to primary Sinema before she left the party and is now the likely Democratic nominee to unseat her and give Arizona the Democratic Senator it deserves. Gallego is a former Marine, combat veteran, Harvard grad, a former state representative, and since 2014 a member of Congress. Gallego is a member of the Progressive Caucus and is known for his blunt and combative style standing up to Republicans. In Congress Gallego has been a strong supporter of native rights advocating for tribes on health care and child welfare issues. Gallego is also the sponsor of a bill to bring about nation wide, free, all-day kindergarten which isn't available in many states. If elected Gallego would be Arizona's first hispanic Senator. Republicans hope that the Democratic vote will split between Sinema and Gallego allowing them to win this important seat. The Republican front runner is conspiracy theorist and Trump super fan, Kari Lake. Lake rose to national fame in 2021 for pushing conspiracy theories about Trump having won the 2020 election, as well as anti-mask and anti-vaccine Covid conspiracies. Lake was the Republican nominee for Arizona governor in 2022. During that campaign she ran on an aggressive anti-LGBT platform, saying she'd ban drag, and was against trans rights. Lake also is against Abortion in all cases. After losing to Democrat Katie Hobbs, Lake refused to concede, and still pushes the conspiracy theory that she's the rightful governor of Arizona. If you live in Arizona please make sure you vote, but more if you have any time between now and November, volunteer to help Gallego! and if you don't live there you can still Donate or buy a pro-choice shirt from his campaign!
Vote Volunteer Donate Shop
Florida
Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (Flip)
Florida's current Republican Senator Rick Scott is a right wing extremist pushing dangerous ideas even by the standards of the Modern GOP. During his first term as Senator Scott has pushed to defund the IRS, and the Department of Education. He's sponsored bills to punish schools that allow students to use preferred pronouns, to ban affirmative action, bans teaching critical race theory, and ban trans people from women's sports. Scott is against abortion in all cases. Most alarming Rick Scott proposed a radical plan that would "sun-set" ANY and all federal laws after 5 years, including Social Security and Medicare, Scott would place all federal programs and agencies on the chopping block every 5 years for a radical Republican minority to block their renewal and leave us without Social Security, or the EPA, to name just two examples. The likely Democratic nominee is former Congresswoman Debbie Mucarsel-Powell. Born in Ecuador, Mucarsel-Powell immigrated to the US when she was 14 and had work to help support her family. When she was elected to Congress in 2018 she became the first South American born immigrant and first person of Ecuadorian heritage to be elected to Congress. In Congress Mucarsel-Powell was a member of the Progressive caucus, she fought to expand medicare, and secured $200 million for Everglades restoration. After a narrow defeat in 2020 Mucarsel-Powell joined the gun control advocacy group Giffords to fight for gun control a personal issue for her after her father was murdered when she was 24. If you're in Florida please make sure you vote, and Volunteer to help remove on of the most extreme Senators, If you're not in Florida you can help Debbie win by donating.
VOTE VOLUNTEER DONATE
Michigan
Elissa Slotkin (hold)
Long time Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow is retiring this election, so there will be a tough fight for control of this important swing state Senate seat. The likely Democratic nominee is Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin. Slotkin is a former CIA analyst, after retiring from the CIA she worked in the State and Defense departments during the Obama administration. Slotkin was first elected to Congress in 2018 winning and being re-elected in a tough swing district. In Congress she's fought for common sense gun control, supported the cap on insulin prices and Medicare drug price negotiation, she helped pass a law on drug price transparency, she championed the CHIP act to bring high tech manufacturing jobs back to America, and was a big supporter of Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Slotkin is centering a pro-choice message in her campaign as well as gun control and bring down medical costs. Who the Republicans will pick isn't totally clear, it seems like it's between Former Congressman Mike Rogers and former Detroit Police chief James Craig. Craig ran for Michigan governor in 2022 before he was disqualified for fraudulent signatures on his nominating petition. Craig has listed cutting off US support to Ukraine as one of his top priorities, and endorsed Trump's 3rd run for President early in the primaries. Mike Rogers is also trying to win over Trump voters and has attacked the rights of LGBT students in schools calling it "social engineering". If you live in Michigan make sure to get out and vote, and also volunteer! And for everyone outside the state you can donate or buy some merch.

Montana
Jon Tester (re-elect)
In most contexts Montana is a deep red state going for Trump in 2020 57% to 40%. This makes the reelection of Montana's only Democratic member of Congress and only statewide elected Democrat, Jon Tester maybe the toughest election for Democrats this year. A Senator since he was first elected in 2006 Tester has won a series of upset wins in Montana over the years. A 3rd generation farmer Tester has been as strong for small farmers and ranchers in Washington. Tester has always been a champion of accountably and transparency in government pushing ethnics and campaign finance reforms. Tester is rated one of the most effective senators and managed to pass more bills last year than any one else in Congress. He's never been afraid to stand up for the Democratic side even if it'd be an unpopular vote in Red Montana. Tester voted to impeach Trump twice, and he voted against all 3 of Trump's nominees to the Supreme Court. He supported President Obama on The Affordable Care Act and Dodd-Frank, and has supported President Biden on the Inflation Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Republicans seem likely to nominate right wing influencer and former Navy SEAL Tim Sheehy. Sheehy promises to get drag queens out of schools and the Lord's Prayer in to the classroom. He also hopes to repeal Obamacare calling for a "total privatization" of health care and made statements against the very idea of health insurance, insisting people should pay full price at point of use. If you're a Montanan make sure to vote to re-elect a champion of the little guy, and also volunteer! if you're not please think of donating what you can, if you can only give to one campaign this cycle this one, or Ohio are the most important!
VOTE VOLUNTEER DONATE SHOP
Nevada
Jacky Rosen (re-elect)
First elected to Congress in 2016 Jacky Rosen moved up to the Senate in 2018. In her first term as a Senator Rosen has championed green energy for Nevada. Together with fellow Democratic Nevada Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, Rosen has gotten millions for solar manufacturing in Nevada as well as millions to replace the state's school buses with electric, and programs to study new groundbreaking green technology. Senator Rosen has been a supporter of gun control, is in favor of banning assault weapons. She sponsored a bill, the Background Check Expansion Act, that would require background checks for all gun sales closing loopholes for on-line sales and gun shows. Rosen is pro-choice and has sponsored a bill to protect doctors from being prosecuted across state lines for providing reproductive care, and is a co-sponsor of a bill to codify Roe V. Wade into federal law. Rosen will likely face Republican celebrity and army veteran Sam Brown. Brown ran and lost a race for the Texas State House in 2014 and ran and lost for Nevada's other Senate seat in 2022. Brown stated he was in favor of getting rid of the Departments of Education, Transportation, and Energy. Brown is against Red Flag gun laws that allow police to temporarily remove fire arms from the home of someone deemed a danger to themselves or others. Brown also has refused to say if he supports a national abortion ban, but does say he's pro-life and wouldn't support any judges that weren't. If you live in Nevada make sure to get out to vote and volunteer to protect the state's green future and the right to reproductive care. If you're not in Nevada consider donating or buying some merch.
VOTE VOLUNTEER DONATE SHOP
Ohio
Sherrod Brown (re-elect)
Ohio together with Montana represents the toughest re-elect for Democrats this year. The state went for Trump twice, elected a right wing radical, JD Vaince, to the Senate in 2022 and has had a Republican governor since 2010. To complicate thing more Democrat Sherrod Brown is one of the most progressive members of the Senate, regularly scoring along side Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren for the most left wing in the Senate. From the time he was first elected to Congress in 1992 Brown refused to take the Congressional Health Insurance until all Americans could be covered. Brown first supported a Medicare for all bill in 2006 and has supported different efforts to expand Medicare and health coverage. He was a key supporter of the Children Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Brown is a strong supporter of unions and has struggled his whole career to protect unionized manufacturing jobs in Ohio. He was one of the first Senators out on the picket line during the UAW strike of 2023. Brown's hard work has help make Ohio the center of a new booming lithium battery manufacturing in America, a green manufacturing future for the state. Republicans look likely to nominate former used car dealer and father-in-law of Republican Congressman Max Miller, Bernie Moreno. Moreno's main qualification seems to be having been endorsed by Donald Trump. He lists among his priorities "End Socialism in America" and "End Wokeness and Cancel Culture". If you're in Ohio make sure to vote to re-elect a progressive giant and volunteer too! If you live out of Ohio donate, if you're looking for the race where your dollar will matter the most, this one or Montana guys.

Pennsylvania
Bob Casey Jr. (re-elect)
First elected in 2006 Bob Casey famously beat incumbent Republican homophobe Rick Santorum by 17 points. Since first entering the Senate Casey has moved leftward on a number of issues. First elected as a pro-Gun Democrat since 2012 Casey has sponsored a number of bills to expand background checks, ban assault weapons, ban extended magazines, and well as supporting mental health funds for victims of gun violence. For a number of years Casey was called the last pro-life Democrat in the Senate, however in 2022 he came out in support of Roe V Wade and voted twice on bills that would have codified the right to an abortion into federal law. Casey voted against all 3 of Trump's Supreme Court picks and has long supported Planned Parenthood's contraception efforts with federal funds, seeing easily available birth control as key to reducing the number of abortions. In 2021 Casey published a plan he called "The Five Freedoms for America's Children" modeled after FDR's famous speech. He proposed automatically enrolling all kids in Medicaid, an expanded child tax cut, a federally supported college fund for all kids who's parents make under $100,000, expanded free school meals, more funds for head start and abuse prevention programs. Republicans are rallying behind Mitch McConnell's hand picked candidate, hedge fund CEO David McCormick. McCormick worked for the Bush administration during Bush's second term. McCormick's wife Dina Powell also worked for the George W. Bush administration and was a senior aid to Trump as well. If you're in Pennsylvania make sure to get out and vote for a solid Democrat out to solve child poverty in America and keep the Hedge Fund guy from Connecticut out, and Volunteer if you can. Remember you can donate where ever you are.

Texas
Colin Allred (flip)
Texas is currently represented by likely the most hated man in Washington, Ted Cruz. Republicans hate him, Democrats hate him more, he has a very punchable face, he might be the zodiac killer (thats a joke and meme). From shutting down the government in 2013 to try to overturn Obamacare, to leading the charge in Congress to overturn the 2020 election on January 6th Ted Cruz is a greatest hits of the worst parts of the Republican Party of the last 10 years. When Texas lost power in the middle of a historic ice storm in 2021 Ted Cruz and family ditched the state to go on vacation in Mexico, classy. Cruz in the Biden years has cast himself as a culture warrior fighting against "woke" publishing a book "Unwoke: How to Defeat Cultural Marxism in America" in 2023 to kick off his re-election campaign. Texas is a traditionally red state but things are starting to shift and in 2018 Cruz narrowly won re-election over Beto O'Rourke. Democrats hope with the right candidate they can turn Texas blue and beat the most hated Senator in America. Democrats think Congressman Colin Allred is the man for the job. Allred is a former NFL Linebacker for the Titans. After the NFL he went on to get his law degree from UC Berkeley, and work in the Obama administration. Allred was first elected to Congress in 2018, unseating a Republican who'd been in office since 1997 and becoming the first Democrat to represent the area in Congress since 1968. In Congress Allred has supported bills to expand voting right and protect abortion rights, as well as gun control. In the Senate he promises to address Texas' shaky power grid and make sure Texas is never left in the dark again with its leaders missing. Lets do this Texas, make blue Texas a reality if you live in Texas remember to vote and volunteer, if you're an American who hates Ted Cruz you can donate to make in unemployed.

MVP development services help businesses create products with scalability in mind, allowing them to add features gradually without disrupting the core functionality. This sustainable approach enables companies to allocate resources more efficiently and expand their product offerings in response to user demand.
6. Building Brand Loyalty and Trust
MVP development gives users a voice in the product’s journey, which can help build loyalty and trust. When users see that their feedback is taken into account, they feel a sense of ownership and are more likely to become loyal brand advocates. Early adopters of an MVP often help promote the product within their own networks, creating valuable organic growth.
Involving users in the development process through an MVP Development Agency fosters a strong user community that supports the product’s growth. In a market where customer loyalty is challenging to earn, giving users a meaningful role in the product’s evolution is a significant advantage.
The Role of MVP Development Companies in Business Success
In 2024, MVP development companies are critical for businesses that want to leverage MVP strategies effectively. MVP development agencies provide expertise in creating products that align with business goals, user expectations, and market demands. With the support of experienced professionals, companies can turn ideas into functional products with confidence.
Working with an MVP development company provides access to resources like skilled developers, agile project management, and strategic guidance. This partnership allows businesses to navigate development complexities, choose the right technology stack, and implement user feedback mechanisms, all of which are essential for achieving success.
How Businesses Can Leverage MVP Development in 2024
1. Identify and Prioritize Core Features
A successful MVP starts with understanding which features are essential to the product’s functionality and value. Collaborating with an MVP development agency ensures that the right features are prioritized. Conducting market research, user interviews, and competitor analysis helps identify which elements are critical.
2. Establish Effective Feedback Mechanisms

Agility is crucial for MVP success. MVP development companies use agile methodologies that support iterative development, allowing for quick adjustments in response to user feedback. This approach keeps the product aligned with goals while supporting continuous improvement.
4. Focus on Incremental Growth
MVP development supports sustainable growth by enabling incremental feature additions. Businesses can start small and build on their MVP’s success, scaling up as demand increases. By partnering with an MVP development company, companies ensure that each development stage aligns with user needs and business goals.
5. Track Key Metrics to Measure Success
Tracking metrics like user retention, engagement, and feature usage is essential for assessing an MVP’s effectiveness. MVP development services can help set up the tools and analytics needed to measure success, ensuring that resources are used effectively.
Real-World Examples of MVP Success
Many successful businesses started with an MVP, then expanded based on user feedback. Companies like Dropbox, Airbnb, and Uber initially launched simple versions of their platforms to test the market. By gathering user input and refining their products, they became leaders in their industries.
In 2024, the MVP approach continues to drive success across sectors like technology, e-commerce, and fintech. These businesses show that MVP development is not only an effective way to enter the market but also a foundation for sustained growth and customer loyalty.
Conclusion
In a competitive market, MVP development is a powerful tool for business growth.

Why Every Startup Needs a Strong MVP (Minimum Viable Product)
In the fast-paced world of startups, one of the smartest strategies for achieving success is launching a strong Minimum Viable Product (MVP). An MVP allows entrepreneurs to test their core business idea, gather valuable feedback, and minimize risk while maximizing learning. Many successful companies started by focusing on an MVP, iterating based on user feedback, and slowly evolving into industry leaders. In this article, I’ll walk you through why every startup needs a strong MVP and how it sets the foundation for long-term growth and success.
Validate Product-Market Fit Early On
One of the most crucial benefits of an MVP is that it helps you validate whether there is a demand for your product before you invest significant time and resources. Building a full-fledged product without knowing if there’s a real need for it is a risky move. An MVP allows startups to launch a simplified version of their product that includes only the essential features. This approach provides early insights into whether the solution is addressing a real problem and whether customers are willing to pay for it.
Airbnb, for example, started as a basic website offering air mattress rentals in a few homes, validating their peer-to-peer lodging concept before expanding globally. By focusing on the essential functionality of connecting hosts and guests, they were able to test their core assumption quickly and refine their offering based on real user feedback.
How to Validate Early: Conduct targeted user testing with your MVP. Engage with a small but relevant customer base and ask for honest feedback. Focus on the core problem your product solves and use their insights to guide further development.
Gather Actionable Feedback from Real Users
User feedback is one of the most valuable resources in developing a product that people love. Launching an MVP gives you access to early adopters who can provide direct feedback on what works and what doesn’t. Rather than guessing or assuming what users need, an MVP enables you to put a functional product into their hands and learn from their experiences.
Dropbox is a classic example of leveraging feedback from an MVP. Initially, Dropbox was launched as a simple video demo showcasing the product's core functionality—file sharing and syncing. Early feedback helped them refine the product, ensuring it was tailored to meet user needs. This feedback loop ensures that each iteration of your product moves closer to the needs and desires of your target audience.
Actionable Feedback Tips: Ask users specific questions about their experience. Use qualitative feedback (surveys, interviews) alongside quantitative data (usage metrics, heat maps) to understand how they interact with your product and identify areas for improvement.
Save Time and Resources
One of the biggest challenges for startups is limited resources—whether it’s time, money, or manpower. Developing an MVP helps you save both time and money by focusing only on the essential features necessary to test your core assumptions. Instead of spending months or years building a comprehensive product, you can get a working version out quickly. This approach allows you to begin collecting data on what’s working and what needs to change early in the process.
Zappos tested the concept of selling shoes online with an extremely basic MVP: they set up a simple e-commerce site and photographed shoes from local stores. Once an order was placed, they would manually purchase the shoes and ship them to the customer. This method allowed them to test the feasibility of their business model without the expense of developing an extensive inventory system.
Maximizing Efficiency: Focus on building the absolute minimum version of your product that delivers core value. Prioritize features that help you validate your assumptions, and avoid the temptation to add unnecessary functionalities early on.
Enter the Market Faster
Speed is often a competitive advantage, especially in industries where first movers can dominate the market. Launching an MVP allows you to get your product into the market faster and start building a customer base before competitors catch up. By entering the market early with a simplified version of your product, you can establish your presence, start generating revenue, and gather user data for future improvements.
Facebook is a notable example of a company that moved quickly with its MVP. Initially limited to Harvard students, Facebook’s MVP was focused on a simple feature: connecting users through profiles and friends. Once they validated the concept, they quickly expanded, becoming the giant social platform we know today.
Tips for Early Launch: Prioritize getting a working version of your product to market. Use early feedback to iterate and improve, but don’t delay launching while chasing perfection. Remember, an MVP is about learning, not delivering a polished final product.
Minimize the Risk of Failure
Starting a business is inherently risky, but developing an MVP helps mitigate that risk. By testing your core idea with minimal investment, you can reduce the risk of wasting time and resources on a product that doesn’t resonate with customers. An MVP also gives you the flexibility to pivot or make significant changes based on real-world feedback before you’ve invested too much in a specific direction.
Uber’s first MVP was a simple SMS-based service that allowed users to book black car rides in San Francisco. By testing the ride-hailing concept with a basic version of the product, Uber was able to validate demand and refine the user experience before developing their full app.
Risk Reduction Strategy: Focus on validating one or two key assumptions with your MVP. Whether it’s user demand, pricing, or usability, identify the highest-risk factors and test them early. This approach allows you to pivot if necessary, minimizing losses.
Attract Early Investors
Investors want to see proof that your product has market potential, and an MVP is a powerful tool to demonstrate that. Rather than pitching a theoretical idea, an MVP provides tangible evidence of demand, user interest, and the product's viability. By showing that you’ve taken steps to validate your concept with real users, you make a stronger case for securing funding.
For instance, Slack’s early MVP focused on its core messaging functionality for teams. This MVP helped Slack secure investor interest, as it showed that there was a market need for simple, effective team communication.
Investor Tip: Use your MVP to demonstrate traction. Highlight user feedback, early sales, and key metrics to show that your product has momentum and potential for growth. Investors are more likely to back a product that has been tested in the market.
Focus on Core Product Value
Developing an MVP forces you to concentrate on the essence of your product. By stripping away non-essential features, you can hone in on delivering real value to your users. This laser-focus ensures that you’re solving a specific problem for your customers, which is critical for long-term success. Over time, you can build on this foundation, adding features based on user needs and feedback.
For example, the early version of Snapchat, then called Picaboo, allowed users to send photos that would disappear after a few seconds. This simple concept became the foundation for the platform’s growth, and Snapchat continued to add features like Stories and filters based on user preferences.
Core Value Strategy: Before building your MVP, clearly define the core problem your product solves. Focus on delivering a simple but effective solution to this problem and iterate based on user feedback.
Key Benefits of a Strong MVP for Startups
Validates product-market fit early, minimizing risks.
Saves time and resources by focusing on core features.
Provides early user feedback to refine the product.
Enables faster market entry, giving startups a competitive edge.
Demonstrates traction and potential to attract investors.
In Conclusion
A strong MVP is the foundation of any successful startup, enabling entrepreneurs to test their core assumptions, gather user feedback, and make data-driven decisions early on. By focusing on delivering a simplified version of your product that addresses the most pressing customer needs, you can reduce the risk of failure and save valuable resources. Whether you're launching a new business or expanding an existing one, an MVP allows you to enter the market quickly, attract investors, and build a product that resonates with your audience. Remember, the goal is not to create a perfect product from day one, but to learn, iterate, and grow based on real user data.
