How do you decide when a product has enough features to launch?
Our vision for myMD was always a super app, one place that holds everything about your health. Health records, scores, insights, AI assistance, women's health, nutrition and more. All connected, all personal.
But you cannot build a super app overnight. So we had to make a tough call. What is the smallest version of this vision that still feels useful and not half baked?
We launched with three things. A health vault with insights, a health score and an AI chatbot. It felt like a real product but also just a fraction of what we were building toward.
Now we have four core features, each with their own layer of insights, plus a bunch of smaller ones like medication reminders, Apple Health integration and more. And there is still so much on the roadmap.
Looking back the hardest part was not building, it was deciding what to hold back.
So how did you handle this? If you had a big vision, how did you figure out what made the cut for launch and what had to wait?
Available now on iOS and Android.

Congrats on narrowing down the core! I ran into the same trade‑off building The Sponge. I stripped it down to the flashcard generator and spaced‑repetition engine – the parts that delivered immediate value – and saved the AI‑powered suggestions for later. It helped keep the launch focused and the feedback loop tight. If you're up for it, I'm launching on PH soon... would appreciate a follow (See "PRODUCT HUNT LAUNCH" Link in my profile). The Sponge is an AI‑powered flashcard app that turns any webpage into study material.
