Building in Public is a movement of developers who share their journey—the good, the bad, and the ugly—on platforms like X (Twitter) and IndieHackers.
Why do it?
- Feedback: Early fans can tell you if your idea is worth pursuing before you spend months building it.
- Trust: Transparency builds a deep connection with your users.
- Accountability: Saying "I will ship this on Friday" to 1,000 people is a great motivator.
What to share:
- Screenshows of your UI progress.
- Challenges with specific bugs or APIs.
- Your "Tech Stack" decisions.
- (Optional) Your revenue or user growth numbers.
Sharing your process is the best marketing you can do as a developer.
