founder blind spot?
Many products are hard to explain in one sentence — especially to their own founders
You live with the idea every day.
You know the problem deeply.
You automatically fill in the gaps.
Users don’t.
That gap — between “this is obvious” and “I have no idea what this does” — feels like one of the hardest parts of building and launching.
So I’m curious:
* Have you ever been surprised by how users misunderstood something that felt obvious to you?
* Did anything actually help you break out of that “founder blind spot”?
I think there’s a lot of hidden learning here.
