Clean execution. The "tiny menu bar app" framing is exactly where I'm trying to land my own scope right now.

What was the hardest thing you cut to keep it tiny? I keep adding "one more useful thing" and have to talk myself down.

Built a small SaaS recently and this hit hard. I kept asking myself "who is this paragraph for?" while writing the landing.

Ended up cutting almost 60% of what I had planned. Most of it was reassuring myself, not the visitor. The stuff that survived were the things that confronted them — like a 4,000-dot grid showing every week of an average human life.

The post is right that visitors aren't there to be impressed by you. But I'd add: they're not there to be reassured either. They're there to be confronted with something they already suspected was true.
