🏗️ Is building in public still worth it?

A couple of years ago, sharing revenue numbers and progress updates on X felt like a cheat code. Now my feed is full of Day 47 of building my SaaS posts, and I m not sure anyone is reading them anymore, including me.

I ve been posting updates, and it s brought honest result, e.g. some founder friends, but very few actual customers.

Has building in public brought you real customers, or mostly other builders?

If you still do it, what kind of posts actually get traction for you?

Launching tomorrow: Trophy's MCP servers

Hey guys, super quick announcement ahead of tomorrow's launch - we've added MCP servers!
#1: Trophy Docs MCP
The Docs MCP gives agents always-up-to-date context on Trophy's features, integrations and guides, reducing hallucinations and enforcing best practices.
Ask your agent things like:
"What Trophy features should I use to increase user engagement?"
"How should I use Trophy to build habitual usage patterns?"
"Does Trophy support streak freezes?"
#2: Trophy Account MCP
The Account MCP gives AI agents access to your Trophy account helping you configure and deploy gamification features faster, without touching the dashboard.
Ask your agent things like:
"Set up a daily streak in Trophy that tracks completed workouts, give users 1 freeze to start with, and 1 new freeze every week. Set up a webhook endpoint to send users a guest pass when they hit a 30-day streak."
"Set up a repeating weekly leaderboard that ranks the top 100 users by XP. Award XP for reading notes, flipping flashcards and watching videos. Add a 2X XP boost on weekends for Pro users only."
"Create a series of achievements for 10, 25, 50, 100 donations. Reward users with increasing XP for hitting each level."

Get Connected

Connect Trophy's MCP servers to your favourite AI tools including Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex and any other AI client that supports the MCP protocol:

- Docs MCP: `https://docs.trophy.so/mcp`
- Account MCP: `https://mcp.trophy.so/mcp` (Trophy Account required)

🚪 What happens in the first 5 minutes of your product?

I watched a stranger use our product for the first time last week. Screen share, I just stayed quiet and watched.

It was painful

She skipped the welcome screen, missed the main button, and spent almost two minutes in settings looking for something that was right on the dashboard.

Everything we thought was obvious wasn't.
