#buildinpublic Twitter update template

I’d like to propose a template for #buildinpublic Twitter updates. It’s a series of 5 concise tweets, posted as a thread so people can follow along your journey and story with some form of continuity.

Feel free to copy, paste and modify this! (but leave the emojis in!)

1/5
🔥 #buildinpublic recap/update

List down what you said you’d do in your last update. Or if this is a new start, state down your one top goal for this next stretch of build.

2/5
✅ 10-word summary of what went well

A longer description of what went well. Include bullet points, if necessary.

3/5
❌ 10-word summary of what could have been done better

A longer description of what didn’t go so well, and what you learnt from the experience.

4/5
⏩ 10-word summary of what you’re doing next

A longer description of your next immediate actions, between now and the next update

    Hey Everyone
    We recently built https://ansy.ai/
    it is a Discord bot that will answer community questions based on chat history of public channels. Cool way to save time of mods.

    Great advice! -- I just need to remember this template on the next update I ship. :-)

      @SantiagoM I've already done my update this week, but using a different format. That's when I thought about and came up with this template! It's based off of a thing that I used to do when mentoring some guys in a previous corporate life :)

      The template looks kinda like this on Twitter: https://twitter.com/me_mtrn/status/1334130783083118594?s=20

      Will drop a link here once I've posted a new update, hopefully some time today!
