0:00my name is Sabrina Romanov and this is
0:01part one of my video series building SAS
0:04with AI where I'm going to walk through
0:06from start to finish building a SAS MVP
0:10here's the idea that I want to build out
0:13it's basically a AI powered remixing
0:16platform or repurposing platform for
0:18social media content so you'll be able
0:19to connect any social media Source such
0:22as Twitter Facebook YouTube you'll be
0:24able to upload kind of your personal
0:26knowledge base representing your brand
0:28voice product information services
0:30writing style things like that and then
0:32AI is used to filter the different
0:34things in your social media sources for
0:37quality and relevant posts so things
0:39that your audience would probably like
0:41to see and then AI helps you repurpose
0:43the content using your brain or personal
0:47knowledge base or brand I haven't
0:48figured out the right term to represent
0:50all that but the point is to add your
0:52unique point of view add your
0:53contribution and value and then you can
0:55publish the repurpose content to any
0:57social media platform and then over time
1:00you can continuously teach the AI with
1:01examples you like so if it creates an
1:03output for Pinterest and Facebook and
1:05Twitter and you really really like how
1:07it worded the Twitter thread for example
1:10you can feed that back into your
1:12personal knowledge base or brain and
1:14then similar to other social media tools
1:16it would have an automated weekly cue so
1:18you would be able to choose the time
1:20slots that you would like to
1:21automatically publish Monday Wednesday
1:23Friday for example you want to publish
1:25on LinkedIn Facebook X and Tik Tok for
1:27technical folks out there the way to
1:29think of it is a pandoc for Content
1:31creators so any social media Source do a
1:34bunch of Transformations on it and then
1:35push it out to other social media
1:37sources and my inspiration for this idea
1:40is my own process for creating content
1:42in the past three months I've grown from
1:44nearly zero to over 130,000 followers
1:47across LinkedIn Tik Tok my newsletter
1:50YouTube and so on and a big part of my
1:53workflow is just repurposing my own
1:55content like I'm not even talking about
1:57other people's content I for example
1:59this YouTube video I want to repurpose
2:01this into shorts into Tik toks into a
2:03newsletter into tweets into LinkedIn
2:05posts and I do have ai automations for
2:08it so I use zapier for simpler
2:10automations and pipe dream which is a
2:12developer friendly version of zapier for
2:14more complex automations but the thing I
2:16noticed and what kept popping up is I'm
2:18seeing on Tik Tok on YouTube people keep
2:21asking about how to build AI automations
2:23for Content creation and they're asking
2:26like for the same things again and again
2:27I thought to myself it would be really
2:29nice if I just had you know an easy to
2:31use SAS platform I could have a lot of
2:33control around that repurposing process
2:35and just have everything in one place so
2:38I know this paino is real because I
2:40personally have it as a Creator and I
2:41use like all of these different tools
2:43for Content creation for example I use
2:45repurpose doio to take my Tik toks and
2:48push them to YouTube shorts and
2:49Instagram reals but for example you
2:51can't take one of my newsletters and
2:54create a faceless video from it um you
2:56can't take my YouTube video and create a
2:59newsletter from it using repurpose doio
3:02I would just like to have a SAS platform
3:04where I could like remix my own content
3:06in one place at scale while maintaining
3:09my brand personal knowledge and identity
3:11so that's kind of the vision for the
3:13platform it's definitely not V1 so I'm
3:16starting with the vision because it's
3:17kind of what excites me and the word
3:19remix is what comes to mind but remix a
3:22is taken and AI remix.com is taken so I
3:24don't know I might have to change that
3:26okay so now we have like this Vision I'm
3:28super excited about what is it actually
3:30take to bring it to life I want to talk
3:32about all the things you should do
3:34before writing a line of code and I
3:36don't think it's a lot of things like I
3:38don't think this should take weeks and
3:39weeks for me it took like 24 hours and
3:42now I feel great and confident about
3:44writing a line of code but the first
3:46thing is like run your idea by people
3:48who probably have the paint Point too
3:50for example people who already use
3:51similar tools as I do people who are
3:53creating content and just see what they
3:55think so I'll show you how I did this
3:57unfortunately I do have an audience
3:59which makes this easier this is my Tik
4:01Tok page where I basically posted a
4:04video literally two days ago saying hey
4:07guys I have a new app idea and I'm
4:09looking for feedback um so here you can
4:11kind of see the captions basically a lot
4:13of people ask me for AI automations I'm
4:14thinking of building a sass app that
4:16helps you repurpose stuff while
4:17maintaining your brand your voice your
4:19identity really making it super easy for
4:22solopreneurs small businesses to push
4:24out content high quality on a consistent
4:27schedule without having to feel
4:29overwhelmed welmed by like all the
4:30social media tools out there especially
4:32as a small business content creation is
4:34probably not your main focus so the goal
4:36is to have an AI powered system that
4:38takes care of a lot of the workflows and
4:40tedious stuff so you can focus on
4:42delivering your core message and also
4:44focus on the main thing that your
4:45business does so that you know you're
4:47not spending all of your time trying to
4:48create content I launched this video two
4:50days ago and it's gotten thousands and
4:52thousands of views 100 or so comments I
4:55replied to all the comments so I just
4:56split this in half because I assume half
4:58of these are me but yeah you can see
5:00kind of like the comments here um
5:02sometimes people you know just say hey
5:04this is a great idea sounds amazing and
5:06then other people offer more detailed
5:08feedback for example automating recent
5:11articles that can be repurposed for Gen
5:13Z creating LinkedIn posts I'm starting a
5:16small business something like this would
5:17be amazing huge timesaver and that's
5:19really like my target market here like
5:22you have a core business but you want to
5:24do content marketing for it organically
5:26but it takes time to do that and like
5:28you're really busy running your small
5:30business this was a really interesting
5:32far more interested in surfacing
5:33articles and videos that would be
5:34valuable so like the fire hose of social
5:36media content today can we use AI to
5:39filter for quality and relevant posts
5:41and those are the ones that you kind of
5:43repurpose for your audience in Market a
5:46lot of people ask me to share how I buil
5:48it which is why I'm filming this video
5:50series this was a great comment as well
5:52you know being able to preserve your
5:54voice and content rather than just like
5:56regurgitating what other people are
5:58saying huge need for people there are
6:01other programs out there trying to do
6:03this but it cost like thousands of
6:04dollars to learn how to build it out I
6:06mean that seems expensive teach social
6:08media and digital marketing on the
6:09college level I actually spoke to this
6:12woman and she's doing an amazing job
6:14teaching social media and digital
6:15marketing for college graduates and
6:18being able to kind of build a personal
6:20brand early on in your career is another
6:22really huge use case for this
6:24potentially Tech startup Founders having
6:27done a tech startup myself like social
6:29media marketing was not the main focus
6:32we didn't have anyone on the team who
6:33was particularly an expert in that it
6:36was one of those things that we knew we
6:37should do so I'm I'm just showcasing
6:40this to show you what I mean so when I
6:42say like before writing line of code run
6:45your idea by people with a paino so I
6:47literally just went to my Tik Tok oh I
6:49have this idea posted a video which
6:51probably took me like 3 minutes to film
6:54and then started getting feedback and
6:55I've actually spoken to some of these
6:57people on on a phone to like interview
6:59them about their use case what tools
7:01they've tried their pain points their
7:02ideal workflow so I don't think this has
7:04to be very long now if you don't have an
7:06existing audience today what I would
7:08recommend is like going to where your
7:10audience hangs out today so that could
7:12be a subreddit could be a LinkedIn group
7:15a Facebook group whatever and just go in
7:17there and like just be honest just be
7:19transparent like I I have this paino
7:22it's been something I'm thinking about
7:23does anyone else resonate with these
7:25pain points and what tools have you
7:26tried this is before writing a line of
7:28code but like I I'm very action oriented
7:30I don't like to delay building the
7:32product and so this really shouldn't
7:34take very long so the video I posted was
7:372 days ago and now we're here going to
7:39build the MVP um the second thing and
7:42the third thing are both related and I
7:44do feel like this is really difficult
7:46for everyone even for me we have in our
7:49minds this amazing vision of what we
7:51want to build and like all these
7:52features it's going to have and like how
7:54amazing it's going to be but you just
7:56can't start there if you try to start
7:58there with your V1 most likely like you
8:00won't even get there you won't launch
8:02and quite frankly like many
8:04entrepreneurs I meet with especially
8:06firsttime entrepreneurs they struggle in
8:08this beginning phase like taking an idea
8:11distilling it down to its core thing you
8:14want to test the core hypothesis and
8:16launching it to get feedback that's the
8:19where most people in my opinion from
8:20what I've seen get stuck stay stuck
8:23unfortunately this first video I'm not
8:26even going to write code I'm actually
8:28just going to talk about what it took to
8:31distill my vision down to a feasible
8:33spec for V1 for my MVP which stands for
8:36minimum viable products and that's it
8:38for this video and the reason I'm doing
8:40it this way is because this is just so
8:42important you have to narrow down your
8:45scope I've noticed energy momentum like
8:48they can kind of die with an idea you
8:50you want to go from an idea to launched
8:53as quickly as possible and the key to
8:55that is just cutting out as much scope
8:58as possible like a barely working
9:01version one is totally fine Clarity is
9:03also a really big thing so in addition
9:06to narrowing down the scope like writing
9:08out exactly what a user does in your app
9:13is is a really important skill not just
9:15for interacting with AI and LMS but for
9:18Building Products explaining what your
9:20products do so again we start with this
9:23Grand Vision of everything like connect
9:25any social media source for example like
9:28take a newsletter and be able to remix
9:30it into a faceless video for Tik Tok
9:32with like videos voice over captions
9:36b-roll animations like all that stuff
9:38like that's the end state right the
9:41first thing we probably want to do first
9:43of all is choose the easiest media type
9:46which is text and then repurpose it or
9:49remix it to other text so so here's kind
9:53of the spec and how I'm thinking about
9:55it so let's just walk through it step by
9:57step uh the first thing I'm going to
9:59tell the AI is your goal is to build a
10:01SAS web app that helps users repurpose
10:04content from one social media platform
10:05to another for me personally this is the
10:07Tex stack I use for MVPs and we'll go
10:10through setting it up it's important to
10:12mention it to the AI so it knows like
10:16what what stack you're using and doesn't
10:18try to like change your stack in the
10:21process um so this is just like kind of
10:23a best practice I figured out work
10:25working with AI to code for me so I say
10:27the web app must use Firebase we're
10:28going to use that that as a database
10:30nextjs is a full stack web app framework
10:33these are kind of options within nextjs
10:35we're going to use typescript Tailwind
10:37CSS and app router and the main screen
10:41is what we're going to work on so how
10:43did I decide to like build this first
10:45the way I think about it what is the
10:47minimum thing that I would use if it
10:50existed if I started working on
10:52connecting social media sources and that
10:55was it that's nice but I can't really
10:57use that for anything useful here if
11:00even if I don't connect social media
11:02accounts even if I can't sign up even if
11:05I can't automate it with a weekly queue
11:07even if I cannot you know upload my
11:09brain my brand voice and everything if I
11:12can take a PO a text post like an
11:15article and then repurpose it for a
11:17LinkedIn post a tweet and a Facebook
11:21text post that alone is useful because
11:24what I can do is I can just copy each
11:26post like the LinkedIn Post open
11:27LinkedIn and paste it and yes that steps
11:30manual like it's not going to be perfect
11:32in V1 there's still a lot more to build
11:34out but that kernel is already useful
11:37for me as the user uh and if you're not
11:40the user that is something you want to
11:41run by your audience like the people who
11:43give you feedback the minimum viable
11:46kernel of the thing that you ultimately
11:48want to build but that would be useful
11:51today for someone even if it totally
11:53sucks which it it is going to I'm
11:55telling you now I anticipate people will
11:57be like oh this MVP is easy easy and it
11:59sucks and blah blah blah but that's
12:01that's not the point in this video
12:03series I'm showing what it looks like to
12:05actually take this super fancy amazing
12:07idea that everybody loves in theory and
12:10and actually build it out you know piece
12:12by piece so this is why I chose to
12:14create screen because if it did this
12:18which I'm going to talk about if it did
12:19just this I would already be able to use
12:21it today that's my criteria for what the
12:24MVP or minimum viable product should be
12:27so let's talk about what I mean by the
12:29eight screen um I started working on
12:31mockups for what I wanted the main
12:33screen to look like if I wanted to be
12:34even more ruthless in simplifying this
12:36I'd
12:37remove this kind of dashboard look with
12:40the left side bar and the top knv bar I
12:42would just have you know these two
12:44panels this form where you submit like
12:47the input text and then the outputs over
12:50here that have been repurposed using AI
12:52if I wanted to be like super ruthless
12:54and cutting cutting the scope down by
12:57the way this is literally a photo photo
12:59I took of the mockup I drew in Amazon
13:02scribe and I really like my Amazon
13:04scribe because you can just like doodle
13:06and draw stuff and then erase stuff
13:09resize stuff and move stuff around um so
13:11it's really forgiving for someone like
13:13me where I have zero background in
13:15drawing zero background in UI or user
13:18experience you can see here I cannot
13:20even draw a straight line and my point
13:22is like you don't need to have those
13:25formal skills we're going for a
13:27Simplicity we're trying to remove
13:29everything that we don't need in the
13:31first version so actually if I wanted to
13:33be even more ruthless let's say like
13:34you're pretty new to Building Products
13:37what how would you simplify this even
13:39further this is probably a good exercise
13:41so I was pretty happy with this mockup
13:43like I'm pretty confident I can have a I
13:45build this in the MVP but if I wanted to
13:46simplify this even further what would I
13:49do so here kind of this red block I just
13:52remove this left sideb barar again don't
13:55really need it just to test the core
13:57idea I would remove this top now bar
13:59again don't really need it to test the
14:01core idea initially how I was thinking
14:03about it is you could input a URL and a
14:06text input so let's say like there's a
14:08YouTube video with ideas you really like
14:10and then related to it there's kind of
14:11an article with slightly different
14:13points of views but both a really
14:15interesting content and you want to
14:17repurpose them remix them and then add
14:19your take on both of them so like you
14:22could input a a URL to a YouTube or an
14:24article as well as put in any text you
14:27want but again for the MVP
14:29we can remove that we don't really need
14:30it either do we right so um for this
14:34yeah we don't need LinkedIn or Twitter
14:35we're just going to start with one
14:37social media platform okay so it's just
14:39a text input and submit okay and since
14:42we're just starting with Facebook we're
14:44actually going to remove these squares
14:46too okay and then let's say we're not
14:49going to generate an image we just want
14:51a text post right oh here here okay so
14:55we have simplified the MVP even further
14:59and actually for the MVP I am going to
15:01focus just on one social media account
15:03because I feel like it should be
15:04sufficiently useful for one and then you
15:07can always add additional social media
15:09accounts and we started with over here
15:11like super Grand Vision okay we tried to
15:14we try to narrow it down to like what is
15:17the main screen and the thing that I
15:19want to happen that would be useful just
15:22as the first version of the product okay
15:24and then kind of Drew a mockup for it
15:26and now I'm simplifying the mockup even
15:29further like this really is the base of
15:32the product so the less technical you
15:34are the less coding and product
15:37background you have the more I would
15:39encourage you to simplify and I know
15:42that's going to be hard because now you
15:44know this MVP doesn't look very
15:45impressive it it is a difficult exercise
15:48but it is really important to get
15:50accustomed to being able to do this and
15:53as you become more Technical and more
15:55confident in your abilities to build
15:57products and actually bring them to life
15:59that's when you can start kind of
16:01reintroducing certain things back like
16:03for me I'm going to still have a sidebar
16:06and top KN bar that's pretty easy
16:08because they're just placeholders for
16:09now anyway but I am going to remove all
16:12of these other things so we're not going
16:13to generate an image in this first
16:15version we're not going to hook up to
16:17LinkedIn or Twitter in this first
16:18version we're not going to let you input
16:20a URL for this first version and yeah
16:22we're just going to constrain it to
16:24Facebook for now okay so now let's talk
16:26about what our MVP will actually do now
16:28that we've removed a bunch of features
16:30like what is left what does it do so we
16:32have kind of this left sidebar which has
16:35placeholder navigation options to
16:38navigate to the create screen which is
16:39the main screen the que the dashboard
16:42and the brand which is like our personal
16:45knowledge base or voice identity and
16:47again these are all just placeholders
16:48it's just a left sidebar and then it has
16:50a settings at the bottom uh this top
16:52Navar will display the current screen's
16:55name so for this version we're only
16:57going to have the create screen but in
16:58future versions like this could say Q
17:01you'll see like the Quee of posts you
17:03have coming up or you could say brand
17:04where you can edit your personal
17:06knowledge base your brain your your
17:08voice okay so now let's go to the main
17:10section it's a simple form with a
17:12paragraph text inputs and then you can
17:15select a social media platform from the
17:17checklist so we will allow the selection
17:20from the checklist but we just won't
17:22publish to those other platforms for now
17:25for this MVP in let's say you find a
17:28tweet that you like copy paste it over
17:30here and let's say you want to repurpose
17:32it for LinkedIn and Facebook so you go
17:34ahead paste this over here click
17:36LinkedIn click Facebook when the user
17:38clicks the submit button okay the app
17:40makes an API call to chat GPT to
17:43repurpose the text into a Facebook
17:46social media post and the prompt should
17:48force the output to be in Json format
17:51you don't necessarily need to specify it
17:53but I like to do this because Json
17:55format is easier for programming
17:58languages to handle and then we want to
17:59use the chat GPT model 40 mini which it
18:02will probably get wrong because this is
18:04brand new the AI is probably not up to
18:06date with this announcement uh so
18:08actually let me remove that on the right
18:10side here we want to display the results
18:12return from chat GPT so the Facebook
18:15post the user should be able to edit the
18:18output generated by chat GPT and then
18:21each result like Facebook post should
18:23have two buttons at the top edit prompt
18:26and publish when the user clicks edit
18:29then the user sees a popup where you can
18:30edit the chat BT prompt and regenerate
18:33the output and then when you click
18:35publish you'll see a popup asking to
18:37confirm publishing the content to that
18:40social media platform and so the actual
18:42integration with a social media platform
18:45won't be until V2 this publish is really
18:47more of a placeholder but this V1 is
18:50take a text input apply Transformations
18:53get the text output and then you can
18:55copy paste it into a Facebook post and
18:58here's the walk up and now what I want
19:00to do is to improve the spec further so
19:03here we're going to type a prompt like
19:04this you are a senior software architect
19:07specializing in building SAS web apps
19:09you given a software spec to review how
19:11would you improve the spec output the
19:13improved spec and then here's the spec
19:15pasted here so let me go back here and
19:18I'm literally just going to paste this
19:22along with the screenshot okay let's
19:25submit that and what we're doing is
19:27leveraging AI to help us improve our own
19:29spec instead of having it output a full
19:32spec another approach you could take is
19:33to ask Claude like what are the weak
19:35areas confusing things in the spec that
19:38need further clarification so that's
19:39another way to do it uh what I'm doing
19:41here where I ask it to Output a new
19:43version of the spec I think this is
19:45great if you have a slightly more
19:47technical background meaning you can
19:49kind of like read these and pick and
19:50choose what you want on the right hand
19:52side this is the spec that Claude
19:54outputed so overview here's the text
19:57stack blah blah blah okay see navigation
20:00I like how it kind of laid out the
20:01navigation options I like how it laid
20:04out the UI for the crate screen I like
20:07the retry mechanism for API failures
20:11probably not going to build caching
20:13right now I like how it specified inline
20:16editing capabilities for generated
20:18content yeah I like this too so this is
20:21a great way to leverage AI to just
20:23assist your thinking assist your process
20:26in designing the scope and and VP yeah
20:28he I was really curious if it would
20:30suggest a queuing system and and it did
20:33which is great things like this user
20:35dashboard brand management settings and
20:37preferences we'll get there it's not in
20:39the scope for the V1 things like
20:41performance optimization scalability
20:43monitoring analytics they're just not in
20:46scope for V1 definitely future versions
20:49and then I like here how it how it talks
20:50about future considerations so how do we
20:52build this in such a way that it'll be
20:54easy to integrate additional social
20:56media platforms I like it's proposal
20:58plugin system for extensibility that's
21:01cool so what I'm going to do now is take
21:03parts of the outputed spec the improved
21:06spec and copy it over to mine let's go
21:09ahead and do that so we're going to skip
21:11authentication for our V1 but I really
21:14like how it laid out the navigation okay
21:17so what we'll do is we'll just create
21:19another version of this down here so we
21:20can keep the original and compare let's
21:23do
21:24this and usually do a hash sign it's
21:27like a header yeah like this as well
21:30multi multi-line text input for original
21:33content platform selection via
21:35checkboxes generate content button okay
21:38I like how it specifies a modular prompt
21:40for each platform to ensure optimal
21:42output we I'm just going I'm going to
21:44include everything except caching
21:45generated content to reduce API
21:48calls really wish Google Docs had Vim
21:51mode and then content display and
21:53editing okay so that was pretty much
21:56everything covered in the navigation and
21:58the content screen I think I still want
22:00to include this so here in AI content
22:03generation integrate open AI API for
22:05Content repurposing I'm going to change
22:07this to generate content because this is
22:09the button it labeled it here and then
22:11the app makes an API call and then
22:14content display and editing here I'm
22:17going to kind of combine it show AI
22:19generated content for each platform in
22:21the right side the app displays the
22:22results return from chat GPT because
22:24right now we're only working with
22:25Facebook I definitely like its wording
22:27there I like the advanced prompt editing
22:29but some of it is out of scope so here
22:31I'm going to take what we had I like how
22:33it said modal instead of popup this is
22:36great I just think it's out of scope for
22:37this version but it's again it's really
22:39cool that Claude is thinking ahead what
22:41we want to implement for this version
22:44we're not going to actually have that
22:45publishing capability enabled so all the
22:49rest of this is out of scope for V1 and
22:52I know it's hard to reduce the scope it
22:54sucks like cutting everything cool out
22:57and the first version is kind of just
22:59like a form but that's kind of the
23:01reality of building sasps you have to
23:04start with something you can actually
23:05Implement that's useful and different
23:07from something out there and that you
23:09can launch and start using and getting
23:10feedback on okay so I'm just skimming
23:12through the rest I don't think we need
23:14to include anything else this is all out
23:16of scope for V1 okay cool here's the
23:19updated prompts with claud's
23:21help I still want to give it the goal
23:25build the screen and function
23:29ality below refer let's say referring to
23:32the attached mockup so it's not strictly
23:34following the attached mockup let me
23:36call this updated V1 spec so here's our
23:40original spec and this is the version
23:42updated with claud's help before I wrap
23:44up this video I do want to give you a
23:46preview of what Claude is going to
23:48produce with our updated spec in the
23:50next video I'll walk through setting up
23:52like the Tex stack and Dev tools that I
23:54typically use for MVPs but I didn't want
23:57to end this video without showing Claude
23:59writing some code so here what we're
24:01going to do is copy and paste the spec
24:04attach the mockup remix okay just double
24:07check everything looks good let's add
24:10some Chain of Thought take a deep breath
24:13and take it step by step so here we're
24:18using claw artifacts feeding in the
24:20updated spec and then waiting for CLA
24:23artifacts to produce the code um the
24:26first step it's going to walk us through
24:27how to actually set up the project and
24:29the structure of the project and then
24:31organizing the project structure so this
24:33is kind of what it should look like okay
24:35implementing the layout and navigation
24:37so here's the layout here's the create
24:40screen with the content form create the
24:43content form components here's the
24:46actual open aai integration to generate
24:48the content repurpose the given content
24:51for this specific platform return the
24:53result in Json format and then here to
24:55complete the project you'll need to
24:57implement the remaining screens Q
24:59dashboard brand and settings this is out
25:01of scope for the MVP even though it was
25:04included in the mockup so this is just a
25:06preview just wanted to show you here on
25:08the right hand side you can see all the
25:09artifacts that It produced everything
25:11from setting up the commands to all the
25:14individual components like the content
25:16form the actions you can take the open
25:19AI Library so one thing I did notice
25:21here for example we'll want to change
25:23what model it's using GPT 3.5 turbo the
25:26results usually aren't that great for
25:28wrting in content so just to recap in
25:30this video we talked about how to take a
25:32really Grand Vision with lots of
25:33features distill it down to its Core
25:36Essence create a mockup how to use
25:39Claude AI or you can use chat gbt to
25:41help you improve upon the spec here's
25:44the updated spec with ai's help and then
25:47I showed you real quick how to generate
25:50the initial code base we'll be diving
25:52into that in a lot more detail in a
25:54future video and the next video in this
25:56series will walk through setting up my
25:59usual text stack for MVP and I just want
26:01to emphasize again that these are the
26:02most important things to do before
26:04writing a line of code as you saw I just
26:06asked my audience about this idea and
26:08then I ended up speaking with people who
26:10have the paino and shared their
26:12workflows and what they currently use
26:14today and what they wish they had um
26:16really try to simplify and narrow down
26:18the scope as much as possible even my
26:20own MVP scope here there's probably a
26:22lot I could cut out so it really depends
26:24how technical you are and how
26:26comfortable you are with creating
26:27product and writing spec we went through
26:29that exercise remember where I took the
26:31mock up and just removed things that
26:33even I would consider unnecessary if I
26:35absolutely had to scope it down even
26:36further but again the more technical you
26:38are the more comfortable you become with
26:40this process and these types of tools
26:43the more you know you'll be able to
26:44include in your scope and be able to
26:46still launch the MVP pretty quickly most
26:48importantly think through what the user
26:50workflow is supposed to be what can the
26:52user accomplish with your app in one
26:55minute you know what is point a starting
26:57point what is is point B the Final
26:59Destination the outcome that is the
27:01whole point and value of your app and
27:04everything else kind of around that is
27:07usually not necessary for the first
27:08version all right my name is Sabrina
