Apple taking their large cut from selling my apps on the App Store 🥲

Frank · Answer

I've been in the "pushing a boulder uphill" phase of my startup for quite some time. I know it just comes with the territory in the early stages, but it takes a toll as well.

My launch is coming soon, and I hope to discover product market fit somewhere not too far on the other side of that mile marker, but there are obviously no guarantees.

I've got technical challenges, and workload challenges to address, but I know how to tackle those, and I'm knocking them down one by one. It's the big question marks around this stage of my startup that I'm grappling with.

Removing a feature

@terrell90robbie Totally agree. It's the experiences that lead to growth!

Answer

@entreeden designing feature takes a lot of effort, planning and finally decision to implement it, after that you need to observe how the feature does, after all you understand that it was not needed, then by removing it actually you are removing all those effort and go back to step 1. it is similar to walking in the wrong direction for few hours :)

Answer

When creators run into snags or stumbling blocks along the way, it may be quite irritating. These obstacles may be viewed as learning experiences if you approach them with the right attitude. Makers may achieve their goals despite whatever challenges they encounter if they use an experimental and open-minded approach to tackling them.

I want to make everything perfect... hate it about myself, as in IT and startups time matters and it's better to start quick and not ideal product is fine.

Eden · Answer

@diliara What makes this difficult? Is it because there's small amount of people that are mad you're removing it?
