My Day 9 of building in public here is my success and fails so far.

So here is my week update on building startup community for founders, builders, developers indie hackers in public. I am going to focus on

#1 I posted on x as shown in the screenshot attached and that post got 6.3K views, and 115 comments

#2 I contacted every single person that commented on that post help them create a product page and gave them the product link for them to claim it. 20 founders have claimed their link so far see screenshot of one of the founder product 16hours of launching https://i.postimg.cc/CKQW9Kqx/Dashboard-Founders-Today.png
See x tweet https://x.com/iamsnrjnr/status/2063287926385955204?s=20

#3 Some of the founders product on my platform started ranking on Google and send a few clicks in to my site

#4 from my last post on Indie hacker went viral and hit the homepage of Indie hacker so an editor from londailynews 13th most biggest publication website in London reached out to me love our community vision and gave me 3 slot to write on their platform for sharing my POV on launch directories. I have used 1 slot remainder 2 am giving the 2 out for free to anyone interested. Below is link to the publication. https://www.londondaily.news/product-launch-directory-system-broken/ Indie hacker post that skyrocket https://www.indiehackers.com/post/most-founders-dont-have-a-product-problem-they-have-a-visibility-problem-9ca446f554
My publication slot 1 of 3

#5 I added a feature to founders today we now have a publisher/blogger program where we partner with bloggers to join our program they copy our widget of "AI tools trending 2026" add it to their site for their visitors to see and we from our end rotate the product inside that widget on publishers website based on selection such as niche and audience this will drive over 50% of our referral traffic trust me product visibility from niche blog that matters to your product outweigh 60% of traffic from your socials.

We are rapidly scaling fast if you are a founder it takes 1min to signup and because you started this community with us you get an early adopter badge no matter how far we grow this badge remains on your profile it a sign that you believed in us and that won’t be taken for granted other benefits is attached to early adopters -

One of the benefits of early adopters is that you will be given an early adopter badge this badge stays with you for life it signals the strength that you started this platform with us and founding fathers

Also you get 10 Super vote any upvote you make on our platform with your super vote it skyrocket your product or post to number 1. 1 super supervote is equals to 100 normal vote, super vote is the highest denomination of power ranking on the platform.

    One thing I'd be careful about is how quickly growth starts explaining itself.

    A lot of encouraging things happened in a short period of time.

    The challenge isn't seeing momentum.

    It's deciding which parts of that momentum are actually repeatable enough to build around.

    1. 1

      I have capture some few dots that works pretty well for me and i am utilising those dots and so far progress signals more than momentum, momentum without progress is guesswork

      1. 1

        Possibly.

        I'd just be careful that progress can start feeling self-explanatory too.

        Sometimes the hardest part isn't spotting what worked.

        It's deciding what deserves the credit for it.
