Have you considered using Fleets? They can very well be text-based and don't have to be pics, and I feel like they're perfect for building in public. In my experience they also lead to interesting DM conversations.
If it's a small update, I'd usually make bullet points and 1 tweet. If I've more best practices to share or the BIP requires more words to describe, I'd use a short tread.
I’m more interested in a single tweet than a months or years long thread. With a thread it just feels like the last tweet is just something else that’s been thrown on huge pile of stuff, which makes it feel less significant. An unconnected single tweet has the same weight/importance each time.
I post single tweets myself (if possible with gif capture) and have a pinned tweet with a recent update of the product I’m working on.

Just checking out Fleet now, nice one. I use Instagram more often and the Story feature (similar to Fleet) is easier to check out updates
Fleets are still new and I haven't tried them for anything yet.
I’m also interested in the answer to this question.
Thanks, I hope those who do it will chime in to share their experience.

Thanks, this is the best of both worlds.

I agree, as a user I think Twitter threads have terrible usability.
Threads with Hypefury
I don’t have yet much engagement.
For now none of the two have brought significant results.
I have a better return (more
views, more likes, some retweet) with comments to relevant influencers.
Thanks, this matches my experience.
from what I saw on people that do it with threads, their first tweet from the thread gets a good amount of engagement but the next ones way less
I'm talking about account with 10k follower getting only 5-15 likes on their posts
I can't really tell if their tweets would perform better but every tweet they post gets over 20 likes(by a lot)
anyway rn I'm learning in public and plan on building in public too and I plan on posting individual tweets
Maybe that works with large followings.
