It depends what market your selling to... But customer interviews and selling before you build are two things that can help validate an idea.
Also, during customer interview, asking questions the right way is really important. A good book about this is The Mom Test. You want to make sure you receive non-bias feedback. That can be challenging.
How and where would you validate your app/startup idea?

I try to appear all the time. Working on innovative products/products while being remote can be challenging... So I try to use video to help with overall communication.
It is said that 55% of communication is nonverbal! 😱
How often do you actually appear on camera in virtual meetings? Do you like having video meetings?

I don't know... If you have a basic level understanding, you can try to install VS code with Copilot.
Using comments to generate functions, snippets and lines of code can really help.
Example: //sort the name_list array by alpha, //remove the first element of the array, //call POST to http://example.com
You can test it out on your computer and the copy/paste it in a serverless function...

What conversion metric are you looking at? Newsletter signups? Product signups? A specific button click?
I feel that conversion optimization depends on WHAT you are trying to achieve. In all cases, good analytics is gonna be pretty important!

I've launched a few products in the last 5 years (outside Product Hunt). I've fabricated hype, I've paid for hype, I've sold hype.
One learning I've had is that if it is not organic, if people don't absolutely LOVE it, if you don't create value - the product will fail.
I'm not saying marketing is not important. It is. But sometimes we get to absorbed with other stuff and forget about the...

Zapier? If you are going to manipulate data, no-code tools are probably going to limit you. Perhaps you can try using serverless functions in Digital Ocean or Cloudflare + ChatGPT if you give it the input/output you are looking for?

There are already pretty good answers in this thread. But IMO, a successful MVP launch is one where you learn A LOT. One where you get feedback. One where you get a better understanding of the user, what they want, and what they don't want.
Even if the product launch fails to hit key metrics, those learnings can be used to improve or change product direction. I call that success!
In your opinion, what would be considered as a good MVP launch?

I think it depends on the goal. From my understanding, the primary goal is visibility, learning and feedback within product hunt... And the only way to get visible is for people to click on the upvote button, and the only way for people to click on the upvote button is to have a product people love.
I'd focus on creating value and something people love. There are A LOT of distribution channels...
Do you prepare a strategy or create one from scratch for your Product Hunt launch?
