Do You Validate Your Business Ideas Before Creating an App?

Hey Product Hunters!

I’ve seen a lot of people jump straight into building an app without validating the idea first. Some succeed, but many end up realizing too late that there’s little demand for their product.

So, I’m curious - how do you validate your business ideas before diving into development?

Do you:

• Conduct market research and competitor analysis?

• Build a landing page and run ads to gauge interest?

• Interview potential users to understand their pain points?

• Launch an MVP and iterate based on feedback?

• Or do you use other methods? If yes, what are they?

Or, on the flip side, do you believe in the “build first, validate later” approach? Maybe you’ve found that true innovation comes from just creating and seeing what sticks.

I’d love to hear your experiences - what has worked (or not worked) for you? Let’s discuss!
