What if no one ever asks for the most important feature? We get a lot of feature requests, but the number one feature we focused on: "When the map loads, is it easy to know where the nasty weather is?" No one ever asked for that, but it's the killer feature.

- joshu 15y agoIndeed. Users rarely ask for what they need, but they do ask for what they think they need. The challenge lies in translating what they asked for into the actual problem they had and then solving THAT.
