Ask HN: How to validate webapp idea before mvp?

2 pointsby pruthabout 11 years ago
If my idea takes a considerable amount of time to implement, is there an easy way to validate it before I develop an mvp and prevent people from implementing it before I do?

People sometimes put up landing pages and collect signups as if the thing already existed&#x2F;was done, and market it as if it were.<p>I don&#x27;t know how most feel about this tactic, I think it&#x27;s a little disingenuous, but it seems to be a thing. Also, if you build the thing (or have started building&#x2F;designing it), that seems fine

You can just ask for feedback about your idea to random people at meetups, on reddit or with small talks at hackerspaces for example.
