Where builders are

Bait in Public. Build in Public.

Read the manifesto

The best ideas don't happen in isolation. They thrive in the open, strengthened by collaboration, refined through feedback, and accelerated by momentum.

For years this community has shown up for each other: shipping in public, celebrating the wins, carrying each other through the slumps. This is a permanent place for that, one that can't be switched off by a single product decision on someone else's platform.

If you've ever posted to the community, ever learned from someone here, ever rooted for a stranger's launch, this is your home too.

Questions

What can I do here today?
Claim a profile at buildinpublic.com/x/yourhandle and browse the directory of everyone building in public. Search by name, bio, or location, and see which cities and countries have the most builders.
Do I need an X account?
For now, yes. That's how we verify real builders and bring your handle over.
Why does this exist?
The #buildinpublic community grew to 250,000 members on X Communities, a product X has announced it's shutting down. Whether or not that ends up happening, a community this good shouldn't live somewhere it can be switched off. So it has its own home now.
What's coming next?
Richer profiles, so you can show what you're building and not just who you are. After that, we follow what the community actually asks for.
What do you do with my email?
We use it to keep you posted on what's new here. We won't sell it or share it.
Who's behind this?
Marc Köhlbrugge, the same person who's run the #buildinpublic community on X for years.

Verifying is optional, so no badge doesn't mean someone isn't real.
