I used to think an SaaS development was simply a scaled-down version of a full-fledged application, but after exploring the topic further, I realized the concept goes a bit deeper. It is not enough to just cut half the features; you need to retain the specific capabilities that allow you to validate the product's core idea with real users. I like this approach because, after launch, you can gather feedback and gradually improve the solution. If you are just starting a project of your own, I would advise defining the main problem the product is meant to solve right from the start, and then basing your initial set of features on that.
