How do you validate the market before launching a product? What's your experience? 🤔

I am a product manager, and I encounter many problems in my daily work that need to be solved one by one. During the process of solving these problems, certain solutions are formed. If I find that there isn't an appropriate alternative product, I will package it into a small MVP product and take it to the community for validation. A good product can't simply follow trends; it needs to be grounded in real needs. Even if the interface isn't aesthetically pleasing, as long as it meets the demand, people will use it. Of course, there is still a big difference between a commercialized product and an MVP in terms of architecture. After you complete the MVP validation, you need to find a viable path to commercialization and gradually implement it step by step. Luckily, I have a small but dedicated group of development partners who help me turn product ideas into reality, and that is very important. How did your products start? Why not share your story?
