I knew we needed to build a suite of tooling, as our goal was to be a "hub" for the most important stuff at work. In retrospect, we built too much product.
If I start another company, I will spend all my time focused on solving a very big pain-point with a few simple product.
With Friday, I wanted to keep the product simple, but the people we talked to always were talking about the "yet another tool problem" - so there was a desire to consolidate. How I interpreted this was that we needed to build the "suite" vs. spending all our time on one feature.
I could go on and on about what I would do differently, but I'm thankful for the opportunity and have learned a lot that will (hopefully) make me more effective in the future :)
