Built too much. Questioned everything.

Hey Huzzlers,

I have something very useful to share with you. It's what I just realised Yesterday And sharing it with you right now.

I was deep into building SnapStats.

Every new feature felt like progress like...

• This will give users more value.
• This will make it better.

Then I went deep—content effectiveness scores, referrer intelligence, lifecycles, dashboards.

It looked clean, worked well, but here’s the truth:

I didn’t even know what feature actually mattered to the user.

I was trapped in a cycle of building stuff because I thought it was cool, not because it solved a problem.

So I asked myself the real question:

If I had to pay for this product, would I?

And honestly, I couldn’t answer yes.

Because I built it thinking, “This would be cool” instead of, This solves a problem.

That spiraled into:

• Did I just stack features with no real reason?
• Am I solving anything—or just building what I want to see?

That’s when the clarity hit.

Users come for solutions, not features. If you love money? 👉 Solve one problem, solve it well.

I paused.

No dashboards. No code. Just me vs reality.

I sat down and asked myself:

• Who’s this really for?
• What’s the core problem they’re facing?
• Why would someone pay today?

And the biggest truth slapped me:

More features = more confusion.

Clarity? Gone. Value? Lost in the noise.

So I started cutting.

Stripping everything down to the one thing worth paying for. The real, core value.

I started focusing on solving a specific pain (let it be the very small one). And now, the vision feels clearer and way more focused.

So what you guys can learn from it?

When you’re stuck in the feature spiral, just ship your product with that one pain-relieving feature.

Forget about the extra features for now. Keep your long list of "cool features" saved somewhere, but launch with the one thing that’s actually worth paying for.

Here’s why:

When users come to your product, they’ll tell you what they want. You don’t need to guess or overbuild. Let me clarify....

Once you launch, gather feedback.

What are users asking for? What features do they actually care about?

Then look at your saved list of features and see if any of them align with what users are requesting. If so, you’re on the right track. If not, rethink. Don’t add unnecessary complexity.

The key here is simplicity and real-world validation.

• Ship your product early.
• Iterate based on real feedback.
• Don’t try to be everything to everyone right out of the gate.

(I only realized this yesterday, so trust me, I’ve been there!)

Final insight:

The world doesn’t need more features. It needs simple, effective solutions that solve real problems. Focus on that, and let your users tell you what comes next.

They’ll tell you what they need—you just need to listen. Example ... Huzzler itself.
