I really like this story!

> I said I could build it over the weekend. It was Friday.

I wonder how long the ideation phase took. I know a fair number of people, myself included, are bad at defining "true" MVPs, and it takes time to cut an idea down to the bare minimum. I would definitely not be able to do that AND implement it in a weekend.

Glad you like it!

I think the key here was that there was no "ideation" phase. We just got to business right away. And we were really, strictly limited with time.

I have worked on a dozen, maybe more other MVPs (where I got paid, as that's what I do for a living). And I don't think I have any other MVP story worth writing about.
