me and my team have wasted so many hours (days) working on some product features which was "definitely going viral" only to be forgotten after a few weeks

I believe if we had something like this we could go to market early and understand the user behaviour to build a more scalable and robust system once we were sure if it was even of worth

The reality is humans are really bad at knowing what is worth investing into.. until the object is there for all to see and critique.

Every idea sounds great until you spend resources getting into the subtleties and nuances.
