A FOOLISH CONSISTENCY

A fantastically concise post on how to prioritize features when building a product.

The amber sections represent danger. If you’re building features that only a small sliver of your customer base heavily depend on, your product is doing more than it should. These customers won’t be happy if you remove these features, but they’re worth very little to you. You can try hiding them behind preferences, but be careful. This line of thinking leads you away from a cohesive product and toward consultingware, where your product is a mixed bag of mediocre features. It’s at that point you start telling people “It’s the swiss army knife“.
