The Power of Small Features: Tiny Tweaks That Changed Everything
Sometimes, the smallest features make the biggest impact. Adding a simple "undo" button, tweaking the onboarding process, or adding one-click sign-ups can drastically change user experience and retention.
For example, Superhuman’s "split inbox" made email management feel 10x faster, and Figma’s cursor chat changed how teams collaborate remotely.
What’s a small feature in your product (or one you’ve seen) that turned out to be a game-changer?

At Shutter we've invented one-tap remote photoshoot with a phone.
10k+ people used it during the first several month as we've launched it.
We added dark mode thinking it was just a nice-to-have, but it ended up being one of our most loved features. Users kept mentioning it in feedback — turns out small comfort touches really matter.
