Focus on shipping a product with core features that address the primary user problem. MidJourney founder David exemplifies this by initially providing basic features and using user feedback to evolve into a superior product. This iterative process aids in enhancing the product and deciding on future features. ## Content A lot of people's minds are flooded with ideas. These are often "idea people" who never ship on time. You can't plan everything upfront. Instead, focus on shipping a product with the core features that solve your users' primary problem. As MidJourney founder David says, "Get started with the work, and you can figure out exactly how to build the best product as you go." He proved this by starting with blurry MidJourney images, gathering user feedback on Discord, and iterating to create the best image generation model, surpassing giants like OpenAI. Through this process, you'll not only improve your product but also learn which features to add next.  ## Community discussion Top comments from developers on daily.dev. **@nadimtuhin** · 20 upvotes > nyc motivation **@ghost** · 16 upvotes > I think reducing the scope of the project as much as you can allows you to have a practical approach, creativity can't take you anywhere without actually getting things done **@nikunjrohit** · 14 upvotes > plan to do more and talk less. **@alexkilpatrick** · 10 upvotes > Just ship it? > > Ariane 5 devs say, "Hi!"... **@dezzamondo** · 7 upvotes > Version 1.0 of the product is never going to be the final product.
