Ask HN: What should I do before building a MVP?

I have a rough idea about a product finder website I want to build as a side project, but I don't really know how to measure market interest.

I heard about strategies that include building a nonfunctional landing page and running a Google ad campaign for that, but I would like to learn about other options.

Are there any good resources on this topic?

you should do as much customer research as possible and describe a solution for their common problems before building an MVP to validate it
