guys getting lower karma, up it will give back
At First I believed that the most difficult part of creating a SaaS product was the development itself.
The architecture, bugs, deployments, scaling, performance issues… that was the “real” challenge.
But, after working on few products, I felt the most difficult part is in figuring out what NOT to create.
Every week I was getting a new feature idea.
Users request things.
Competitors launch something new.
You start thinking:
"Maybe, I should also add this."
Before you know it the product grows in size, complexity and maintenance, larger than planned.
The worse thing is that some of the features you spend most of your time developing are only used minimally.
I always feel like a lot of SaaS products creep up on that over time because the founders and developers don't want to say no to some features. However, maintaining simplicity of a product is quite difficult.
I am curious to know if other developers/founders here feel the same way.

I remember when people would actually explore a product after signing up.
Now it feels like users decide within the first 2–3 minutes whether your SaaS is worth it or not.
If onboarding takes too long → they leave.
If setup feels confusing → they leave.
If they don’t see results immediately → they leave.
We recently simplified one small flow in our product and honestly the difference in retention shocked me more than adding new features ever did.
Made me realize most SaaS products probably don’t have a feature problem anymore…
they have a “time-to-value” problem.
Curious if other founders/devs are seeing the same thing?
What’s the one small change that unexpectedly improved your user retention or conversions the most?
It’s getting really hard to sit and code for long without getting distracted slack messages, emails, random notifications… something always pops up even if it’s small, it completely breaks the flow and getting back into that same mindset takes time again feels like I’m working all day but actual focused coding time is very less
I’ve tried muting things sometimes, but then I feel like I might miss something important how do you deal with this?
do you block everything out or just manage it somehow?
