  4. Should my MVP be a mobile app or a web app? My users are mostly on phones in smaller Indian cities.
  5. I'm a domain expert with no coding background. Should I spend a month learning a no-code tool myself or hire a no-code freelancer?
  6. I'm building outside the big startup hubs with almost no budget. What's the cheapest no-code stack to launch a marketplace or directory?
