MVP
The simplest version of your app that actually works.
What is MVP?
MVP (Minimum Viable Product) is the smallest version of your idea that solves the core problem. Build this first, ship it, get feedback, then add features. Most vibe coders overbuild — an MVP mindset prevents this.
An MVP isn't a crappy version of your final product. It's the core feature — the one thing that makes your app useful — without all the nice-to-have extras.
In Vibe Coding
Vibe coding is perfect for MVPs. Build the core feature in a weekend with Lovable, launch it, and see if people care before spending weeks on features nobody wants. Most successful vibe coded products started as embarrassingly simple MVPs.
Example
For example: You want to build a project management tool. Your MVP is just: create a project, add tasks, mark tasks complete. No teams, no calendars, no file uploads — those come later, after people actually use version 1.
