Adding features for your product nobody use

2 pointssasha_fishter2 comments

If you are building whatever product, there is always many features to be added, but in the end, very little percentage of people are actually using it. I.e. companies are sending emails about new features, but I never go through them to see what's new.

What's your opinion here? You have to add something, like beer companies are changing the bottle design, they don't change the taste of the beer.

People only use 20% of Words features. The problem is different people are using a different 20%. This is the nature of software, there is usually someone using a feature and for them its critical while others have no idea it even exists.

I'm a big fan of features. At any point, I could randomly be invited to a project where I want to use one of the other 80% of features. I like one size fits all apps instead of fragmentation.
