Poll: How many SLOC your latest MVP contained?

5 points by nadam 15y ago ↗ HN

I know that the best strategy is to launch an as minimalistic as possible 'Minimum Viable Product', but it is sometimes really hard to cut features. Sometimes I think that without feature X and Y the product is totally uncompetitive.

Although I know that SLOC is not a very meaningful metric, I ask you: How many Source Lines Of Code (SLOC) your latest Minimum Viable Product (MVP) contained? (count in every handwritten code, even HTML, and of course don't count in any 3rd party lib or stuff not created explicitly for the product.)

I still do the odd bit of client work and just deployed a MVP for one (a niche Q&A site). 1376 LOC (not including views, unfortunately, but they're simple). 608 of those implementation code. 768 for test code.

The code behind http://pagekite.net/ is probably around 50k lines of code right now. And growing every day... :-)

364 including views, 157 without.

EDIT: That would be http://fuckyeahnouns.com. It's minimum. Up for debate whether it's "Viable" or "Product".
