What's your number one reason for building in public?

For me, it's being able to document the journey. Not to mention the feedback you get from the community.

For me it's hype if you do it right, people like following along on the journey and that can benefit you a lot on launch day. I suppose it's a similar thought process to some of the well thought out kickstarter projects

@aaronoleary Makes sense. I've launched two successful kickstarters in the past but never really drew that connection since those were physical products as opposed to what I'm doing now (digital products). But the parallels are there. Build hype and launch with a bang.
Can't just name one but there are multiples r:asons:
- Accountability
- Support from like minds
- Marketing
@rahulasthana Definitely accountability, it helps keep you responsible when you have an audience excited for the product as much as you are.
Never built any product.
Yet, for me building in public means taking feedback. And if feedback taken you have repeat users coming to see if his/her feedback has been applied or not. You are building a family and not a company.
Now if you are emotional reading that, hit the upvote.
Test product market fit as soon as possible, with « real » users
Responsibility.
For me, building in public is transparency, like an open startup, if you believe in yourself/product, you don't have to hide any kinda information or be afraid of criticisms, bad comments, etc...
For me, it’s the feedback loop. So I can learn quickly and cheaply what is resonating with my audience/community/early adopters and fine tune my offerings accordingly.
@thisiskp_ Big reason for me as well. That instantaneous feedback keeps you on the right track so you avoid releasing something no one really asked for.
To capture the attention
I have been building in public probably since 2008. I used the wisdom of the crowd to find solutions to problems I had, e.g. learning how to setup AWS instances in 2011 during a 4 day outage of AWS.
But these days, I have a large team thanks to free talent from https://skilledup.life. So I don't need the wisdom of the crowd as I needed then, but I just like sharing out current status - a force of habit I suppose.
For me, it's the best way to:
- create serendipity for yourself
- improve your product and yourself
- narrate your story
build hype, gain early users & potential customers, feedback & suggestions.
Launching soon!
For me, the primary purpose of creating in public is to establish a strong relationship with the relevant community of individuals ho are genuinely interested in the product.
There are many benefits to building in public, including increased exposure for your business and the ability to attract a wider range of customers.
By building in public, you're putting yourself at the forefront of current trends and market conditions.
