What did you deliberately leave out of your MVP?

I’ve been thinking about MVPs a bit differently lately.

Most people talk about what they managed to build.

I’m more interested in what they deliberately decided NOT to build.

AI makes it really easy to keep adding things now.

Notifications? Sure.
Analytics? Why not.
Team accounts? Easy enough.
Another integration? Add it.

But at some point “easy to build” starts getting confused with “needed right now.”

If you’ve launched something before:

What’s one feature you were convinced belonged in v1, but you intentionally left out?

And did you ever come back and build it later?
