How should one plan a MVP for startup?

Question

I'm planning for a startup, and I have started developing the backend. I'm the only person working on it currently. I just wanted to ask How to come up with an MVP? The tech stack i'm planning to use is golang (gin) for backend and react native for front end. It would be great help i can get links to certain resources.

There are lots of good resources as mentioned by others. Here are some starting points.
Start with a list of ideas - These ideas should be solutions of problems either you face or you see others face - Find 10 people you can talk to about your solution and make a list of features - Pick the core ones and build a functional prototype that people can use and give feedback
Start with a problem (space) - Look for problems that people complain about or ask questions (an analysis of Ask HN is a good source to start with)
Here is one story I read today (I think I found it on HN!)

Wish you all the best. You already took a good first step by asking a question here.
