Two weeks from idea to paying customers. What I cut: - User profiles (they don't need them yet) - Settings page (hardcode everything) - Admin dashboard (I can use Supabase UI) - Multiple pricing tiers (one tier to start) - Password reset (manual for now) - Mobile responsive (desktop only) What I kept: - Core feature that solves the problem - Stripe checkout - Basic auth Shipped. Got feedback. Built the rest later. What can you cut to speed up your timeline? Sometimes it's simply a first movers game. ⚡️
