Zannel Mantra

Our mantra at Zannel is “keep it simple stupid!” Actually, it’s something we have to keep reminding ourselves. It’s not hard to build a product full of features, but it’s incredibly difficult to build one that is intuitive and inviting.

We’ve been struggling with this over the past couple months as we see potential competitors launch their services. The urge to add more features to differentiate ourselves is nearly irresistible. The only thing saving us now is our limited engineering resources.

Thank God for limitations. The last thing we’d want to launch is a product crammed full of every new feature we have on our product roadmap. I think we’re doing a good job, but the proof is in the pudding, which right now is still in the oven.
