Critical mistakes made during the journey to MVP?

Question

I've learned some lessons building Boxio, and wrote an article about why moving fast is the key & critical mistakes that you can avoid by doing the same on the journey towards MVP: https://medium.com/@julia_37772/pushing-out-boxios-mvp-fast-was-the-best-decision-we-ve-made-52655607f874

I'd love to hear your lessons when pushing out the MVP! 🔥

@entreeden Thanks Eden! 
Well it required a lot of manual work. For example, I started using Twitter 4 weeks ago and gained 100 followers --> tweeting about Boxio, sending DM's, commenting a lot... I'm doing the same in LinkedIn; posting, talking with ppl.

The first 100 users require YOU selling :) And then you get the users one by one! Best of luck with you. 🔥

Thanks for sharing, Julia! That's amazing getting 50 users in such a short amount of time.

Any chance you have tips for me? I recently released an MVP and have only gotten 7 installs
