When I say simplicity I do neither mean "ease of use" nor "looking shiny and smooth". The kind of simplicity I mean in this chapter is implementing only the features that are important for your idea and to implement them in a way that they work together greatly. You should not add anything because it is a nice to have or one in ten people thought it would be useful. | When I say simplicity I do neither mean "ease of use" nor "looking shiny and smooth".

Every time you add a feature, you need to make it fit to the rest of your product. It potentially will make it slower, less solid and more difficult to use. And keep in mind: the resources you use to add features (you are probably student so it is: time) can't be used for refining the really crucial features. | Every time you add a feature, you need to make it fit to the rest of your product.

If you release a successful 1.0 Product you can still extend it in the 2.0 version even with features that are not very-super-crucial. But I write this to help you to release a successful 1.0 version so I did put emphasis on the simplicity. | If you release a successful 1.0 Product you can still extend it in the 2.0 version even with features that are not very-super-crucial.
