Opinion needed: what content for building in public on Youtube?

Inspired by “The Web App Challenge” blog by Nathan Barry I wanted to do a similar building in public thing but on Youtube. Mainly talking about design decisions (why this tool, why that approach), how I solved the challenges along the way, and also personal learnings, failures, or opinions.

I think for the consumer side of such content it is highly intriguing to be able to comprehend the development of a SaaS business in this way (at least it was for me when reading “The Web App Challenge”). And for the producer side, besides getting exposure of course, you’re able to connect with people on a more personal level, not company to customer, but person to person. So it’s not only about sharing numbers or performance charts but about sharing stories from the project.

Doing this building in public on Youtube was a hard start I must say. Making these videos, writing the scripts, talking into a camera was so much more challenging than expected. Now, around 15 videos and a lot of experimenting later, I’m struggling a bit with the direction of the video topics.

My question now - would you say (when you are interested in this kind of content) that you’re rather interested in the step-by-step and more “technical” documenting of such a project (e.g. “how I set up the database”), or in more broad and lifestyley stories (e.g. “how I manage my time with this indie hacking side project”)?

In the list of videos on the Youtube channel I started you can see that I played around with both directions but I am not sure what to focus on.

Any opinion is highly appreciated ✌🏽
