What’s something you removed after users started using the product?

I think removing something from a product is harder than adding it.

Especially when you were the one who spent time building it.

But real users have a funny way of exposing things that only made sense in your head.

A button nobody clicks.
A setting nobody changes.
An onboarding step everyone skips.
A feature that needs a paragraph of explanation.

I’m curious:

What’s something you actually removed after users started using your product?

And did the product get better because of it?

    Really relatable. How much time do you put into this each week?

    This resonates a lot — how long did it take before you saw any real signal on it?

      Honestly, it wasn’t a clean “after X days” moment.

      The signal started showing up when the same friction appeared more than once — people skipping the same step, ignoring the same thing, or asking for the same simplification.

      That repetition was more useful than any single comment. Once you see the same behavior a few times, it gets much harder to dismiss it as “just one user.”
