Growing Your App: From MVP to MLP

from HTML All The Things - Web Development, AI, and Developer Careers · host Matt Lawrence and Mike Karan

Should you ship your app as soon as it's functional, or keep building until users love it? In this episode, Matt and Mike explore the difference between a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and a Minimum Lovable Product (MLP), and why that distinction matters more than ever in the age of AI-assisted development. We discuss feature creep, validating ideas with real users, trusting your instincts as a founder, and how to balance shipping quickly with building something people genuinely want to use. Whether you're creating an app, SaaS, game, or startup, this conversation is packed with practical lessons on building products that solve real problems and keep users coming back.
