Feature Discovery

Noun · Hacker Culture

Definitions

  1. How users become aware of and learn about a feature inside a product. In product culture feature discovery matters because many useful features fail simply because users never notice or understand them.

    In plain English: How users find and notice a feature.

    Example: "Usage stayed low not because the feature was bad, but because feature discovery was awful and nobody knew it existed behind an obscure menu."
