Discussion on: Creating a more than minor side-project: From planning to release

Great article - broken down the steps really well. This is very similar to how I would go about it but instead I prefer to do a bit more validation first before I start coding.

Thanks for comment!

The larger your project/idea becomes, more validation is needed before coding (and in general, is better to spend more time validating, than discovering that you coded something useless or bad architectured). Nice tip!

Exactly!

It's so important to do this before you start writing code, otherwise you have no idea if the things your building are actually want your customers actually need.

Plus having a bunch of features from day one can make it much harder to figure out whats working and whats not.
