My first step building in public

https://medium.com/@firefields/why-im-building-in-public-bb899ee943dc

I started by documenting my reasons for building in public.
which in short are.

  1. I don't think I learn much on my own if I don't have a project
  2. I believe it's better to teach people about things by showing them.
  3. It keeps me humble to share my failures

    Congrats! Be sure to use #buildInPublic on Twitter. I recently started building in public as well and it seems to work great to connect with other founders that are building in public.

      I can only agree. With the hashtag you can find a lot of software developers and like-minded people!

      top tip. It's just taken me several weeks to get my hacked twitter account back so I should start using it :)

    Great attitude! I think, building in public makes you much faster, because you can get a lot more direct feedback, which helps you learn.

    Thanks for sharing! I hope to start building in public soon too. I've been working on a small project, it's almost finished, just need to take the next step and release it to the world 😅

    Great post Rob! Just followed you on Medium.

    And, coincidentally just wrote a post about one of the biggest advocates for Build in Public - Sharath and on how he successfully sold his startup after 2 years.

    There is so much power in storytelling - it is amazing. I wish you all the best!

    There are several platforms you can use to build in public, including Twitter, LinkedIn, and personal blogs. Consider which platform aligns with your goals and target audience.

    Create a plan: Develop a content plan that outlines what you will share and how often. This could include progress updates, challenges, lessons learned, or insights into your process.

    Start sharing: Begin posting updates and sharing your journey with your community. Be consistent, transparent, and engage with your audience by responding to comments and feedback.
