What's one feature you've removed because users hated it?

One thing I've learned recently...

Founders fall in love with features.

Users fall in love with outcomes.

I'm actively looking for things to remove from FounderFlow if they don't actually help.

So here's my question:

What's a feature you thought was important...

...until real users proved you wrong?

I'm also looking for a few founders who'd be willing to test FounderFlow and tell me exactly where they think I'm wasting time.

I'd much rather hear hard feedback now than after launch.

    Great question. Had a similar experience with onboarding flows — we built a multi-step wizard with progress indicators, tooltips, the whole thing. Users kept asking "can I just skip this and figure it out myself?" Eventually replaced it with a single text input and a "try it" button. Nobody missed the wizard. Sometimes our job is to get out of the user's way.

      @ReThreads_app , I really like the way you put that, our job is to get out of the user's way.
      I think founders often mistake more guidance for a better experience, when sometimes the fastest path to value is simply letting people get started.That is actually one of the reasons I asked this question. I am actively trying to figure out which parts of FounderFlow are genuinely useful and which ones only make me feel like I have built "more."If you are open to it, I would love to give you access and hear your completely honest feedback. I am much more interested in learning what you would remove than hearing what you like.
