It's new year and I'll build something new! 🎇

Should I ? no, but I just can't help it.
Should I #buildinpublic tho or just quietly? 🤔

💡 A good portion of YouTube content is audio only. The video is just a filler, without meaningful value.

I think there's space for a platform for these.

YT's algorithm and Ad experience makes it a subpar platform for these crcreator

@rcamargo Yes, I want to take the politics out of my twitter because it doesn't matter to me. And it's distracting.

Just removing the trends area would already be cool. But what about replacing it with something useful? Having #buildinpublic content is just a suggestion, a nice one 😄

Idea: a browser extension that replaces the Trends area on Twitter web with something more useful.

I'd prefer to see #buildinpublic stuff there than topics about politics

Making some progress on webhooks.uno today! 😁

Admin API almost ready, now gotta write more documentation 🦖

#buildinpublic #opensource

Can anyone recommend people writing about opensource economics or just opensource in general?

doesn't have to be written content. could be video, podcast or other formats as well.

#opensource #buildinpublic

What are you building today?

#buildinpublic

No pain, no gain.

I'd hear that at the gym. But it actually applies to everything!

Building or learning something: it's painful. Especially when making something useful for others than just building my own "great" idea.

#buildinpublic

I might start a new project 😅 What should be the first step?

Conclusion: giving users less choice is often better when developing a product 🙌

❕ That is especially true in the beginning, where there's little feedback and choices tend to be guesswork!

#buildinpublic

Built a custom component for my API docs.

Yes, that's React alongside Markdown, thanks to the great work of @docusaurus!

No extra plugins, tooling or compilation steps. It just works out of the box.

This is the digital revolution of infrastructure.

APIs are making it easy to build previously impossible-to-build ideas.

I'm building webhooks.uno with that in mind.

#buildinpublic

Do you use Jamstack? Do you do auth to the backend using cookies or some http header with?
or did I get it wrong? 🤔

#jamstack #buildinpublic

It feels awkward to have a lot of unfinished and "TODO:"s in my project documentation at webhooks.uno

But that's just what building something looks like: unfinished work until that day when it's done!

#buildinpublic

Was reading how bannebear pivoted to become what it now is. Building one product is not enough!

I always have the feeling that I'm building something that I'll eventually need to pivot. But until I know better, I choose to just keep going

There's no easy solution for this, it comes from the very nature of distributed systems.

But I'm sure there are ways to mitigate those difficulties.

I wonder what are the opportunities for creators in this space.

I have some product ideas that don't make sense with a SaaS model,

and I believe there's space for a different monetization model with opensource + something else.

#buildinpublic folks, any ideas?

#buildinpublic folks: is your product a SaaS?
Or do you have a different monetization model? What is it?

To all #buildinpublic folks: do you have an API product?

If so, what is your tech stack?

People buy flight tickets because they want to get to point B, not because they enjoy flying

People will buy your software because it helps them to achieve X, not because they like spending time with your great UI
