Frankenstein Products refer to apps that started with a purpose but ended up incorporating too many features over time, leading to user confusion and alienation.
Adding unnecessary features to a product not only increases its cost but also erodes user trust as it deviates from the original purpose.
The advice is to stop adding features and focus on pruning unnecessary ones to prevent complexity from killing the product.
Industry leaders warn that continuously increasing complexity without proper maintenance can have detrimental effects on product success, emphasizing the importance of regular pruning and intentional development.
