Abyssale alpha release
by Alessandro StiglianiOur goal was to ship a product with as little features as possible in order to gather feedback asking for specific missing features (we were aware of what was missing) but "artificially" shipping a product lacking in features helped us greatly to shape our product and tech roadmap for the upcoming Beta.
Advice: Ship less is better than too much

Interesting approach. I'm considering something like this myself. How has this worked out for you so far?
Also, when you shipped "less" - how do you determine which features to ship and which to leave for later?
Did you postpone anything that was in your mind a primary feature?-

So far it is working pretty fine and is giving us enough room to improve the product step by step.

TBH most of it was by instinct and what was realistic in terms of dev time, then we did some customer discoveries in order to refine our roadmap.

We did postpone a lot of features, and every choice was a tough one... but you need to be as pragmatic as possible and shipping everything is not possible! (or it will take you x months/years before shipping anything at all)
