How to structure a suite of features without overwhelming first-time users? I will not promote

We’ve been working on a multi-tool platform (combining calculators, self-assessment trackers, and personal dashboards), and we’ve run straight into a classic UX headache: information architecture. Seems, the offering a broad toolkit seems like a great benefit. In reality, giving new visitors dozens of choices right on the landing page leads to decision paralysis. People land, get overwhelmed by the options, and bounce before trying a single tool. We are currently testing a few ideas to clean up the flow: ⚬ Grouping tools into high-level pillars. ⚬ Hiding granular tools inside a personalized user dashboard after onboarding. ⚬ Highlighting just 2–3 "flagship" tools on the main landing page to reduce cognitive load. Since we are still iterating and trying to figure out the most natural experience, I’d love to hear perspectives from both sides: For Makers: How do you decide what earns a prime spot on the homepage versus what stays inside the user dashboard? For Users: When you land on a multi-tool website for the first time, do you prefer seeing the full catalog of features right away, or a clean, minimal page that highlights just one main starting point?
