Hello, I hope you're having a nice day.
The title question stems from me recently having developed an MVP after learning the skills needed for it. Basically, I employed MJ's suggestion in "Unscripted ," which is learning the stuff you actually need while working on a project (I probably butchered the phrasing in some way, but that's the idea I got from it).
These skills ranged from graphic design all the way to full-stack development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, SQL, etc.), which were what I needed to develop the MVP. It's also a long-term investment since I want to focus on tech products. But now that I have the MVP, while it does what it's intended to, I can't help but feel as if it's not good enough, especially in terms of UI design and coding. I feel as if I were to get judged at the moment of releasing it, maybe there are vulnerabilities in the user authentication part, or maybe I could optimize the code further.
That's the problem I face and would like to ask you about: how good is good enough when releasing an MVP? And how do you deal with never feeling satisfied with it? Or is not being satisfied actually something good?
Thank you for reading.
