Would you be willing to "Build in public" ?

Question

Making business, product and customer development all in one place would be fantastic. People will follow your project while you build it from scratch.

What are your thoughts about this ?

We've been doing that for more than a year now, that's the magic of open source. I think if you start to communicate on Twitter, Linkedin, etc. you can use those platforms to put yourself out there a bit more.

@mho22 Depends on the product and where the community lives. For a dev tool - Twitter (x) seems prudent. For no-code tools I think LinkedIn / FB seems more appropriate.

@dzaitzow True, but how would you do it? LinkedIn and X?

Farjana A · Answer

I'm definitely interested in building in public! I think it's a great way to get feedback from early users and build a community around your product. I'm also excited about the potential to collaborate with other builders and learn from each other.

Daniel Zaitzow · Answer

I think in today's world you don't have much of a choice if you want to keep up.

@ali_azimi1 That's great! Have you started the journey without followers? From scratch? Or did you already have an audience, so to speak?
