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

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

Can't just name one but there are multiples r:asons: - Accountability - Support from like minds - Marketing

Test product market fit as soon as possible, with « real » users

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.

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.

Responsibility.

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.
