MVP Build

Full-Stack MVP Build — From Idea to Live Product in 30 Days

I help founders turn clear ideas into production-ready MVPs quickly and pragmatically. This service is designed for early-stage startups that need to validate a concept, onboard initial users, or demo to customers or investors—without over-engineering or long timelines. What you get • End-to-end MVP development (frontend + backend) • Clean, maintainable code with a scalable foundation • Core user flows implemented (auth, CRUD, dashboards, payments if needed) • Database design and API architecture • Deployed to production (Vercel, Render, Fly.io, or similar) • Basic analytics and error tracking • Clear handoff and next-step recommendations Typical stack • Frontend: React / Next.js • Backend: Node.js (Express or Next API routes) • Database: PostgreSQL or MongoDB • Auth: Email/password or OAuth • Hosting + CI setup included Best for • Non-technical founders • SaaS MVPs • Internal tools • AI-powered prototypes • Investor demos or early customer pilots How it works 1. Short kickoff to define scope and success criteria 2. Rapid build with weekly progress updates 3. Launch, polish, and handoff If you already have wireframes or a spec, I can move faster. If not, I’ll help you shape a lean, buildable MVP that focuses on learning—not perfection. Message me with your idea and timeline, and I’ll tell you if it’s a good fit.

Feed update commenting and notifications rolling out within the next 30 min. Users should be able to now click on a comment notification and be linked directly to the conversation for easier responses. Also, updating all feed items to allow comments.

The feed is limited to just the past 20 posts. I'm going to update that so people can keep scrolling through older content. Same principle on profile updates.

Coding.

Adding streamer details and page to the mix. Not sure if we'll keep it, but experimenting a bit.
Pushing more updates today. Might do a Reddit post too.
Does anyone else remember #24hrstartup and ShipStreams? From 2018.
I was wrong ... I'm rolling out another update before bed. https://builders.to/local/listing/denver-garage-coworking Should be https://builders.to/listing/denver-garage-coworking https://builders.to/local/denver-co Should be https://builders.to/denver-co

Pushing another update. Hold onto your hats.
Local listings coming soon!
Advertising fix rolling out.
Adding an update to allow members to welcome new users.
We've lowered the price of services listing from $5 to $1 for a 90 day listing.
Updates: - Started a popup hackathon for the weekend. - Adding services to the left side of the feed. - Renamed /dashboard to /projects (makes more sense). - Local listings are now displayed is a more shallow URL for SEO.
Local updates rolling out in waves.

Day 6 of posting from Builders to X. Team is making solid progress on Builders. I can take a foot off the gas pedal for a little. Time to rest up and get ready for the next sprint.
