Make one subtraction for every addition. Be the editor of your product. - Deepstash

Make one subtraction for every addition. Be the editor of your product.

The paradox of product success is that when you focus on pleasing your most engaged users, you stop engaging new ones. The sad reality—and the opportunity for start-ups—is that most established products take their large user bases for granted and fail to maintain simplicity over time.

Forcing yourself to have a “one feature in, one feature out” guideline will help you develop your product with a bias toward simplicity.
