A core product isn’t built on features.
It’s built on clarity.
Great core products:
solve one painful problem extremely well
remove unnecessary complexity
say “no” more than they say “yes”
Feature-heavy products feel impressive.
Focused products feel essential.
If users can’t explain what your product does in one sentence,
it’s not core — it’s noise.
The strongest software products aren’t everything.
They’re something specific, done exceptionally well.
Depth beats breadth in core products.
