Trello was a successful product despite having way less than 20% of jira's features

And there are hundreds if not thousands of Show HNs and YC funded companies that have disappeared in a whimper trying to be the “smaller lightweight version of $x”

  • They can fail for any reason and it’s not always for not having enough features..

    MVPs shouldn’t have 100% of features, they need to be small, get feedback and iterate.

    • The old cliche “you only get one chance to make a good first impression”. If you don’t have the features I need when I first look at it, why would I pay for it or think about it again?
