What features should you KILL? Not what feature should you add!

In our meetings, we usually keep debating about what features to add to our product. But honestly, we need to be able to say NO to that.

Building became even easier with AI, so it is tempting to add a ton of features. The cost is how complex your app becomes. This is why products get messy fast. Usually it looks fine for old users, because they learned each feature slowly while you built it. But new users open the app and feel lost.

@busmark_w_nika asked yesterday what PH is missing and what people would improve. I am sure the team has enough to cook with now. So I want to ask the opposite:

  • What should Product Hunt kill? What feature would the product be better without?

  • What did you say NO to in your own product?

  • What feature would you remove from a big product you use?

🤔 Why hasn’t smart home tech gone mainstream?

We ve got devices that talk to each other, lights that respond to voice, and thermostats that learn your habits

So why does the smart home still feel like it hasn t clicked for most people?

We ve spent the last year building in this space, and this question keeps coming up, especially outside of early adopter circles.

What's after Product Hunt for self-funded startups?

Vokal got #2 product of the day and #7 of the week, and we now have 100+ signups from startups and teams. In general, people seem excited to try it out to up-level their teams to agent native.

Now I m trying to figure out the next step: how do we scale this beyond manual founder-led work?

I ve been writing posts, sharing content, and doing outreach manually, but it s starting to feel like a constant drain and a bottleneck. I ve been looking into tools like HubSpot, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, and Clay.

For people who have used any of these: what has your experience been? Which ones are actually worth it at an early stage?

Semrush reads 0 AI Overview citations for my site. Google shows my page as a source.

Semrush has reported 0 Google AI Overview citations for my site on 34 readings, and none of them has ever been above zero. On 1 November I searched "agent assist software what helps support reps" by hand and my page was the first source card in the Overview, above LinkedIn and Google Cloud. It was still first on 2 and 3 November.

I nearly got this wrong the other way. On 31 October I logged a citation that turned out to be my page sitting as the first organic result under the Overview. The sources panel never listed it. So now I expand "Show all" and read the panel on every check, and I run two control queries beside it. Both controls have come back negative four checks in a row, which is why I believe the three hits.

What's your experience with companies providing benefits for freelancers?

I'm researching a topic of benefits for freelancers and self-employed, like the ones that people usually have in big companies (sick pay, family leave, insurance, etc). Would love your opinion on how fellow makers are dealing with this and whether there're any solutions that you use. Thank you!

When you re trying to cover multiple platforms with your brand and also cover other platforms for your business account, things can get a little out of hand.

How do you manage your communities and everything that comes with it?
