@zedd can you share some early Magic Eden features you built that didn’t work out as planned? on the contrary, what features did you have low expectations for but ended up working well?

There are so many that didn't work - like too many. But here's a couple: - we tried to localize the product into turkish in like week 3 haha to experiment if that would be a good wedge to get users. This was obviously not a good idea and we found out pretty quick -- but good news is we built it quick and then canned it quick - we built a drop calendar -- it was fine but i wouldn't say it was a hit. it goes to show that you should focus on the core and make sure you do that super well - as there is an infinite roadmap when you start to increase surface What exceeded - launchpad. this was an experiment like localization where we said let's do 5 manually and see how it goes. but after a couple we realized that it was not only solving the creator's problem (how to mint and distribution) but also users (safe place to mint, top creators etc). Since then we've launched nearly 1000 creators probably at this point and it's been a huge part of ME.
