MVP without code: the toolkit
Many people can’t execute on their ideas because they can’t code. I was in the same situation. I was procrastinating to learn to code and therefore couldn’t test and validate any of my ideas.
So, I made a list of tools that could help me build an MVP fast. That way I could validate if people needed (and would pay for my idea or not.)
Here’s my toolkit and I’m sharing it here because it’s probably useful for some of you too!
