What finally made you stop building random features nobody asked for?

by•

Spent weeks coding a feature I personally thought looked super cool only to check analytics later and see almost zero usage. Meanwhile actual user requests were sitting ignored in my notes.

Now I force myself to stick to a strict rule where I only build something if multiple users explicitly ask for it first.

Was there a specific moment or failed launch that made you stop building for yourself and start listening to users?

This hits hard because sometimes usage tells you more than analytics ever can building what people actually needi ntead of what just sounds cool is a big part of building well
