Focus on 3-5 core features that demonstrate value proposition. Avoid feature creep that delays launch and confuses users.
Secure user management is fundamental. Implement proper authentication, authorization, and user data protection from day one.
Enable revenue generation immediately. Integrate payment processing for immediate monetization and market validation.
Design APIs before implementation. Enables parallel development, easier testing, and future mobile app development. RESTful design with comprehensive documentation.
Proper indexing, normalized schema, and query optimization. Design for scale from day one. Consider read replicas and caching strategies early.
HTTPS everywhere, input validation, SQL injection prevention, XSS protection, and secure authentication. Security cannot be added later.
Code splitting, lazy loading, CDN integration, and database query optimization. Fast loading times improve user experience and SEO.
