Did you know? The founders of Instagram originally built an app called "Burbn" which had check-ins, scheduling, and the ability to earn points and post photos. It was complicated and cluttered. But users only loved ONE feature... Photo-sharing. So, they focused solely on that and built Instagram. Sometimes, a startup's true potential lies in a single feature of a seemingly failing product.
