The Real MVP: Going from idea to users’ hands!
summary
Case study builds a native app for Meetup organizers using Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile, KTOR, Apollo GraphQL and Firebase, proving one complete flow in a two‑month spike and then shipping an MVP tracked by number of events created. Prioritization uses Jobs‑to‑Be‑Done interviews and card‑sorting into beta/MVP/post‑MVP buckets, weekly scope cuts, TestFlight/internal Android tracks for feedback, and the hard lessons: frequent library churn, users don’t read, and “good enough” beats perfect.
