Not because it was broken.
Because it made the product worse.
😭
I built this whole feature thinking: "People are going to love having more control."
Then I watched someone use it.
They got confused. Clicked around. Ignored half of it.
And eventually asked:
"Which option am I actually supposed to choose?"
That hurt.
Because the feature worked exactly as designed.
It was just solving a problem nobody had.
So I removed it.
The product instantly felt cleaner.
One thing I'm learning: The hardest part of building isn't adding things.
It's knowing what to kill.
