Do you actually like building in public?

I would really like to learn this.

I basically done Kamal Handbook in public on Twitter/X and really enjoy the momentum I created. And no, I don't use AI marketing anything.

I have grown an audience on Twitter. I tried twice, didn't work but third time was a charm and it took off. What I understood is that if you are genuinely sharing things that you are passionate about, people will know and follow you. If you are just pretending to do something or doing something but aren't really passionate about, people will see that too.

So I think Building in Public only works if the thing you are building isn't just another project but it should be a passion project. That will get you following and hopefully future users.

Question: What do you think is the biggest bottleneck that creators face while building in public.

I think it's managing the chaos between thinking about the product/build and on the how to present things other side.

Maybe a tool that would ask me (maybe via email) - what did I do today or similar introspective questions, and the reply back with thread/tweet ideas that well present it to a (predefined) target audience in a (predefined) voice might work well, more so than reminders. wdyt?

Here are my answers:

1. Not quite, I'm not that consistent with what I'm building right now. I build things almost everyday, but not the same things or projects.

2. Not much

3. In India SMS(text) is usually cluttered with random marketing messages. So I'd prefer email - I use an inbox 0 workflow and email works best for all kinds of incoming communication and reminders :)

i didn't try building in public but would be interested in trying your product cause i want to start building in public

I've never done building in public, and I have no idea how to do it. I'm considering getting started with this approach.

1. Never
2. No, because I am a beginner, and It would not be worth the value to try it now.
3. E-mail for me is not bad.

1: I haven't tried to build in public so far, but I was thinking about it with my current project.

2: No, not so far.

3: I would prefer text reminders, because as you already said, we get spammed with emails all day already..

Good luck with your Tool!

It's great that you've generated momentum for your Kamal Handbook on Twitter/X without relying on AI marketing. This means you've successfully engaged your audience through genuine connection and content quality. Keep nurturing this momentum by continuing to connect with your audience—it's a powerful way to build your presence authentically.

I like the idea of building in public, and I enjoy writing tutorials on my personal blog as I learn new things building!

But personally, I don't like building in public as a marketing strategy. Maybe it's because I've never built something that caters to "builders" where the strategy might be effective, but it seems like the hard work of traditional marketing pays off better over time.

1. Yes. Started in February. I learned a ton just by participating in it, especially marketing stuff, where I am a noob.
2. Not AI related. People will always see if it is AI or not, I advise against it. The tools to schedule posts or finding target audience can be good though.
3. Me? Email. But it has to have good value or it goes to spam
