From idea to App Store: a teen’s MVP checklist
Scope, ship, and learn with minimal overhead and maximum signal.
Scope
Pick one user, one problem, and one success metric. Everything else is backlog. If it doesn’t move the metric, it’s not v1.
Ship
Release quickly with a feedback loop: TestFlight builds, short change logs, and a standing time to review analytics and issues.
Learn
Talk to five users a week. Measure retention and time to first value. Write down what you’ll change before you start coding again.
Common pitfalls
- Chasing features without a metric
- Design by committee
- Skipping empty states and onboarding
