The One-Week MVP Mindset

Shipping fast starts with constraints. Vibe Coding embraces time-boxing, ruthless scope cuts, and hands-on user feedback loops.

Day-by-Day Plan

Day 1 — Scope and Storyboards

  • Define the core job-to-be-done and success metric
  • Draft user flows and wireframes
  • Decide on AI capabilities (chat, summarization, extraction, etc.)

Day 2 — Scaffolding and Auth

  • Initialize Next.js or React Native template
  • Set up auth, DB, and basic routing
  • Prepare feature flags for quick toggles

Day 3 — AI Core Feature

  • Wire the primary AI flow end-to-end
  • Focus on latency and UX responsiveness

Day 4 — UX Polish and Validation

  • Add empty states, loading, errors
  • Instrument analytics and basic events

Day 5 — Feedback Cycle

  • Put it in front of real users
  • Collect friction points and measure success metric

Day 6 — Iterate and Stabilize

  • Fix the top 3 issues
  • Improve prompts and guardrails

Day 7 — Deploy and Demo

  • Prepare demo script and staging data
  • Ship to production and record demo
