Your Prioritized MVP Roadmap

Not all features are equal. This checklist separates what you must launch with from what can wait — so you ship faster without cutting corners that matter.

Must Have

Launch blockers — build these first

Drag-and-drop block editor with text, images, embeds, code blocks, tables, and more.

Infinite nested pages with a sidebar tree view. Breadcrumb navigation and page linking.

Separate workspaces per team or client. Invite members, set permissions per page.

Structured content in table, kanban, calendar, and gallery views.

Week 1 priority 4 items

Should Have

High value — ship in week 2

Pre-built page templates for meeting notes, project plans, wikis, and more.

Inline comments on any block. @mention teammates. Threaded discussions.

Week 2 priority 2 items

Nice to Have

Post-launch polish and extras

Post-launch 0 items

Why this MVP scope works

This checklist follows the 80/20 rule: the "Must Have" features deliver 80% of the user value with 20% of the total effort. Every item in the must-have column was chosen because it:

🎯

Solves the core problem Developers, founders, and agencies wanting to sell a workspace/wiki product face every day

🔄

Creates a complete user loop from onboarding to core action to outcome

💰

Enables you to charge for the product or validate willingness to pay

📊

Gives you meaningful metrics to improve with in v2

🚀

Can be shipped in 2–5 weeks with LaraCopilot

The MVP Philosophy

"The goal is not to build a perfect product. The goal is to build the minimum product that proves your assumption and earns your first users."

For a Notion Clone, that means shipping authentication, the core data model, one complete user workflow, and a way to collect feedback. Everything else is version 2. LaraCopilot makes this fast.
