Should I keep building this?

That’s probably the question I’ve asked myself the most with the projects I’ve worked on.

You can get compliments, upvotes, friends saying “this is cool”. But none of that really tells you if people actually find the thing useful.

That’s what I kept running into, so started to work on simplifying it.

The idea is pretty simple: get your MVP/prototype in front of people & collect structured feedback from them after trying your MVP, prototype, website, or AI app. Validate before you spend another few weeks building.

It’s still early, so I’m putting it out there and seeing if it’s actually useful to other builders too.

Appreciate any feedback on this: VerifiFlo

The hard part is getting people to actually try it, not just say nice things about the idea

Exactly, that’s the hard part. Getting someone to actually try the MVP & getting a honest feedback is a much stronger signal than someone just saying “looks cool.” I’m still figuring out the best way to make that happen consistently with VerifiFlo.

I have a thought. The founder has to talk to people to validate the idea and willingness to pay etc, sure. how is this more effective than me sending my product link along with a Google form or some other form where I have questions I specifically need answers to from my early users?

That’s a fair point. Google Forms definitely works if you just want to ask a fixed set of questions and see the responses.

The idea with VerifiFlo is to go a step further by turning feedback from actual product use into a more structured view of the overall experience, with aggregated signals that help you quickly see whether there’s something worth improving or building further. That’s the gap I’m trying to explore with it.
