Lessons Learned Building in Public
What I've discovered about transparency, community, and growth while sharing my journey.
Building in public has become one of the most valuable decisions I’ve made. Here’s what I’ve learned.
Transparency Builds Trust
When you share your wins and losses openly, people trust you more. They see you as human, not just a product.
The Community Is Everything
The people who follow your journey become your first users, your advocates, and sometimes your friends. Nurture those relationships.
Consistency Over Perfection
It’s better to share regular updates that are “good enough” than to wait for the perfect moment. Progress is more interesting than perfection.
Feedback Is Gold
Every comment, every question, every piece of criticism is an opportunity to learn and improve. Embrace it all.
Final Thoughts
If you’re building something, consider doing it in public. The benefits far outweigh the vulnerability it requires.
