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.
