Lounge S3: Designers

Lounge S1: Software Founders

We're changing it up on /lounge Day 7 😈

Here's the Startup Scenario:

"You were absolutely STOKED to launch a new feature that improved your core product, but it didn't get nearly as much traction as you expected it to get on launch day. 

You still believe in it, but are less sure now. 

What do you do next?"

tbh early features live and die by founder instinct

we've built things for months before anyone used them e.g. SIWN, new user registration

we've built stuff and shut it down within a month due to no usage - we had APIs that recommended NFT mints based on your FC graph; no one used them, daylight does this better

kind of was trying to explain that in my previous point. I’ve used 30+ bookmarking until mymind.com came along. Some ppl just do things better. Or it fits their product overall better. The idea that no one needs it is blasphemy. I don’t spend 2 hrs out of my day trying things if I didn’t need them. 0-1 problem.

Have you launched and kept things for months before anyone used them, only to see behavior shift and your initial instincts proven correct?
