As you try and translate your product plans into reality, inevitably, you are faced with making tradeoffs between desired features and ease of implementation. You have to walk a line between your perception of user value and time-t0-market. In general, I tend to lean towards simplification to get things moving but it’s important to recognize when you’re in danger of crippling your product. In addition, the temptation when something is released to move on to the next thing - this has to be avoided; especially if you released with some rough edges. You don’t want your user experience to die the death of a thousand cuts. By all means, simplify, release and iterate. Just make sure you iterate.
