You know mate...

1. You're motivated
2. You have potential early customers/users
3. They help you to improve your project. You build what they want not what they don't

Building https://budg.co in public (on Twitter) I would clearly say motivation first. Otherwise, I would not say that a reason to do it is to find customers because your audience could be different from your product one.
However, you will have early feedback, testers, and meet people doing the same 🤗
