DUDES / APPLICATIONS & MVPS

MVP development. From idea to real users.

MVP development means building the first version people can actually use: one audience, one problem and one complete user journey. We scope it, build it, test it and ship it. Two senior developers, a crew of AI agents and a result real users can log into.

WHO IT’S FOR

Is this you?

↗01

Founders with an idea

You know the problem and the audience, but you don’t want to hire a whole team before the idea is tested.

⌘02

Companies trying a new service

A new digital product that shouldn’t go through a year-long systems project before it has a single user.

⇄03

SaaS ideas

Sign-in, permissions, payments and the first core feature — without the first version taking a year.

✳04

AI-built prototypes

The clickable demo already exists. Now you need a product you can build on.

THE TYPICAL SITUATION

The feature list grows faster than the product.

A typical MVP starts with a list that has everything: reports, roles, integrations, a mobile app and an admin panel. The list makes sense, but it isn’t a learning goal. The more you pack into version one, the later you hear from real users whether the idea works.

The other classic problem is a prototype that looks finished but isn’t: hard-coded data, no real authentication, or a failed payment that leaves the system in an unknown state.

HOW WE SOLVE IT

Small scope. Real engineering.

01

Pick one journey

We choose one user journey and take it end to end. Everything else goes on the later list — written down, not forgotten.

02

Surface dependencies early

Payment providers, external APIs and data access are sorted out before the build. We decide what must be real and what is deliberately simulated.

03

Agents in parallel, a senior in charge

One agent builds the UI, another the backend, a third writes tests. A senior developer owns the architecture and reviews every change.

04

A release, not a demo

The MVP goes to a real environment with authentication, error handling, monitoring and backups — so the feedback comes from real users.

HOW THE WORK MOVES

Senior plans. Agents build. Humans verify.

SENIOR DEVELOPER / ARCHITECTScope · architecture · security · review · release
agent/01Frontend↳ builds the UI & forms
agent/02Backend↳ APIs, data model, auth
agent/03Integration↳ talks to Stripe, CRM, ERP
agent/04Tests↳ writes & runs the checks
agent/05Codebase analysis↳ maps existing code
agent/06Documentation↳ README, runbooks, handover

Agents run in parallel where dependencies permit. They don’t make production decisions.

WHAT WE CAN BUILD

What an MVP usually includes

  • ↗ Web app with a responsive UI
  • ↗ Sign-in and permissions
  • ↗ Database and backend APIs
  • ↗ Payments and subscriptions
  • ↗ Admin view for your team
  • ↗ Email notifications
  • ↗ Analytics and error tracking
  • ↗ Deployment, domain and environments
TECHNOLOGY
  • TypeScript
  • React
  • Astro
  • Node.js
  • PostgreSQL
  • Supabase
  • Stripe
  • Cloudflare

We pick the stack per project. These are common choices, not a menu.

QUALITY & SECURITY

Generated isn’t done. Verified is.

AI models make mistakes, and so do people. Our process is built to catch them before your users do: human review, tests suited to the risk and validation before release.

PRICING & ENGAGEMENT

How do we get started?

Most MVPs start with a bounded build sprint: €5,000 + VAT, fixed price for the first week. We agree the week’s goals, deliverables and acceptance criteria in advance and review the results together. Then we continue on an agreed scope — or stop, if the idea doesn’t hold up.

FAQ

Fair questions.

How much does MVP development cost?+

It depends on scope and dependencies. The first week is a fixed-price build sprint at €5,000 + VAT. After that we estimate once we know what is actually being built. We don’t make up a price before we understand the risks.

What’s the difference between an MVP and a prototype?+

A prototype answers whether an idea is worth pursuing. An MVP is the first version real users use with real data, so it needs authentication, error handling and monitoring.

How fast can an MVP be ready?+

After the sprint you know what the week achieved and what the first release still needs. The timeline for the full first release depends on scope. We agree on milestones and show progress as working software.

What happens after the MVP?+

You learn from users what to build next. We can keep developing it, hand it over to your team with documentation, or both.
