✅ Give #BuildInPublic a serious try

I didn't know what to expect or how to BIP at first, but that was the point of this goal.

I plan to keep building in public, as some of my most popular tweets were from asking for feedback or sharing my process:

A wild year in review.

I pinned my 2021 goals all year. Results?

✅ Build Twitter presence (from 450 to 1000)
✅ Give #BuildInPublic a serious try
❌ Build 6 visual tools for Visiwig .com
✅ Develop a casual blog (1 post/mo)
❌ Reach $2000 MRR

A deeper look 🧵👇

@AlexMano12 Quickly looking through my timeline, I realize I mostly talk about my experience, process, what I’m building/learning, milestones, or asking for feedback.

Pretty much everything that falls under #buildinpublic except for the odd cat picture.

@MahfuzBw ✅ Build Twitter presence (from 450 to 1000)
✅ Give #BuildInPublic a serious try
❌ Build 6 visual tools for Visiwig .com
🎯 Develop a casual blog (11/12)
🤷 Reach $2000 MRR (at $800 MRR)

#buildinpublic

I've been creating unique tools for each graphic type (icons, illustration, textures, patterns) and now that I see some overlap, I'm working to create a more unified tool for a few of those categories.

Feb goal results:

- Growing Twitter slowed, but still on pace (610).
- Giving #buildinpublic a solid try
- Close to wrapping up my first tool
- No blog posts :(
- Sold 6 of my new products (not MRR)

Overall, I'm headed in the right direction. No BIG wins yet.

#buildinpublic

Recap: Building a texture maker

Success: The visual results are great

Misstep: The output isn't ideal for production websites

Next: Manually optimize 10-20 results into a product

2/ Give #buildinpublic a serious try

I have much to learn, but I've been tweeting about progress, lessons learned, and struggles. I already have received feedback and support from my maker and twitter friends, so I will continue to cultivate my public building.

Progress of my 2021 Goals:

On track
1. 555/1000 Followers (from 450)
2. Give #buildinpublic a serious try
3. 0.5 / 6 Launch new tools

Not on track:
4. 0/12 Blog posts
5. reach $5K MRR (from 0.5K MRR)

In prep for my PH launch I put together a page on what I plan to #buildinpublic. No greater motivation than making intentions public.

@bipReel @buildinpublic_ I'm newer to #buildinpublic, but I've followed and already read many useful tweets from these gems: @JanelSGM, @felix12777, @rosiesherry, @d__raptis, @jamesclift, @stephsmithio

I'm starting achieve desirable SVG textures. I've been tinkering with different shapes, density, SVG filters. After many iterations I'm choosing which inputs to include/exclude from users. Hint: my product is looking less and less like my initial drafts.

Part of #buildinpublic is sharing behind-the-scenes and it would be a disservice to keep my US health insurance rates a secret. I quit my full-time job and needed to pick up insurance:

9/17: $350
1/18: $425
1/19: $452
1/20: $452
1/21: $478/mo

Happy New Year @AnthemBCBS!

@AngeZanetti Do you have any tips on #buildinpublic? One of my goals is to give it a serious try.

Note to self, don't be a bot.

Beep boop.

Give #BuildInPublic a serious try:

I started at the end of December posting the progess of my work. I'm clueless on how to best share my journey, but I know how to build, design, and problem solve... I'll figure it out.

My 2021 goals:

• Build Twitter presence (from 450 to 1000)
• Give #BuildInPublic a serious try
• Build 6 visual tools for Visiwig .com
• Develop a casual blog (1 post/mo)
• Reach $2000 MRR

Why and how: 👇👇👇

#progress: A few days in and I already calculated a solid range of blobs. I have a lot of other inputs to consider, but now I have a better idea of what is achievable in terms of SVG textures. #buildinpublic

#unexpected: somehow I ended up with an airplane blob. I need to work on my geometric algorithms. #buildinpublic

#fail My first attempt at adding curves to my dynamically generated polygon didn't quite make a nice blob, but instead this ghostly inverted jumble. #buildinpublic
