Complexity can be your product’s worst enemy. If users feel overwhelmed or confused, they’ll leave. Simple products win because they focus on one thing and do it exceptionally well. In a world full of distractions, simplicity keeps users engaged and coming back.
TODAY’S TIP
PRODUCT DESIGN
Building Products That Users Instantly Get

The key is clarity. When your product is easy to use, users understand how to get value right away. No need for long tutorials or confusing steps—just a clear path to what they want. Streamlining the experience helps users focus on what matters most.
Think about the apps or tools you use regularly. They’re likely the ones you can navigate without frustration. Whether it’s an app for shopping, budgeting, or communication, simplicity makes everything feel intuitive. When you remove complexity, users can get straight to using the product, not figuring it out.
Simplicity doesn’t mean fewer features—it means prioritizing the ones that truly matter. You may have added extra features thinking more is better, but too many features can dilute the core experience. Keep what’s essential and remove distractions that get in the way.

Simplicity also makes scaling easier. As your user base grows, a simple design allows for smoother updates and expansion. Complex products are harder to scale without overwhelming your users. Focus on simplicity, and your product can grow seamlessly without confusing anyone.
Another bonus of simplicity? It makes your product more shareable. Users don’t need to explain how it works; they just say, “It’s easy to use!” The simpler your product, the easier it is for users to recommend it to others, driving organic growth.
Simplicity is a powerful tool for creating products that users love. Keep it clear, keep it easy, and watch your users stick around, refer others, and help drive growth. Less truly is more when you focus on what matters most.
