Hey Spencer, thank you. That really resonated with me. Just the other day I heard a podcast with Seth Godin where he spoke about the fact that humans are terrible at understanding the "sunk cost" concept. And this is so true for me. I have invested a lot of time and energy into Mission Control. It will be extremely hard to a) let go of it or b) remove features and narrow the use case. To be honest, I have already reduced the use case and removed features in the past weeks. I got carried away because I was not able to keep it simple while also creating something meaningful and different.
If you have a moment and are willing to elaborate on your first impression: Would you be able to point your finger at the part that you feel I could/should remove/reduce? What should I focus on from your perspective?
Thing is you don't have to completely let go of everything, you can launch and then add features later. Do you have a list of features that are done and not done? Try to remove the ones that are not done first. I personally would remove the data & analytics part to launch, and work on adding this later when you have a userbase to get feedback from on what data they would actually want/need.
