Most founders wait until their app is "perfect" before they ask users what they actually want.
By then, they've built features nobody needs and missed the ones that matter.
I worked with a founder building a project management tool. He spent three months on custom reporting, gantt charts, team permissions—all the "pro features."
His first ten users asked for one thing: better task descriptions and file attachments.
He'd built the wrong product because he never shipped early enough to hear the feedback that mattered.
The contrarian take: your first version should be boring and incomplete. Launch it anyway. Let users tell you what to build next.
Speed to feedback beats speed to perfection every single time.
What feature are you still polishing that you should ship unfinished tomorrow?
