I came across the whole phenomena of #buildinpublic when I came across @thisiskp_
account last Sep.

Now, @kevon69 is putting it down in a step wise guide.

This is a great guide for anybody looking to Build In Public.

No Updates on this for 3 days as I have been traveling.

This has pushed out the release date further.

However, it has also made me think about how to make it as simple as possible with the least amount of steps.

#buildinpublic

Today's update so far.

- Made some changes to the pre-order page based on feedback from @d__raptis (Thanks, Jim🙌🏽).
- Removed all manual steps from the App (Other than off-course uploading your Twitter data to Google Drive.)

And for

- Impressions
- Engagements
- Engagement Rate
- ReTweets
- Likes &
- Profile Visits

#buildinpublic

The data is in CSV or comma-separated values format file.
Per file, you get one month's worth of data.

The next step is to upload the files to your Google Drive.

#buildinpublic

The Data for this tool/guide/notebook comes from here -

- The user goes to - analytics.twitter.com
- Clicks on "Tweets" in the top menu
- Select the time period from the list (choosing custom disables data export)
- Choose Export data by Tweet or By Day

#buildinpublic

Gumroad page seems to be getting some click-throughs.

#buildinpublic

Started adding Calendar Heatmaps. The 1st Metric - tweets posted.

It looks a bit empty apart from Nov is as I have not added the data for those months yet.

Next up
- Add data for at least 6 months.
- Add Heatmaps for other Metrics like Impressions, engagements.

#buildinpublic update

I had plans to release gumroad.com/l/rNSrK today but looks like that's not going to happen.

Extending the release by 48 hrs. let's get this done.💪🏽

Update on the actual code.

- Python Notebook is up and running in Google Colab
- Loaded the necessary modules and my own Twitter data from last month
- Added some code for displaying summary stats for various metrics
- Added some basic charts

#buildinpublic

The benefit of #buildinpublic - Got feedback from a number of Twitter friends in the last few hours.

thanks for the feedback and encouragement.

Reasons behind choosing Google Drive hosted Python Notebook.
- Save your own copy in Google Drive from the shared link.
- Run the data analysis right from the browser with a couple - of clicks. No Installation required.
- Export report option.

Stack Choice is driven by the goal of making it usable by a No-code user with no prior programming knowledge.

Of course, some prior programming knowledge would enable you to customize it further for your needs. However, that's not a requirement to start using it.

#buildinpublic

Added the @gumroad pre-order page.

Noticed a few things about Gumroad.
- Can't change a regular product to pre-order afterward
- It's a No-Code site builder in itself.
- Help pages say adding a cover image 2x's conversion and video 4x's

I am creating an "info" product around running offline analysis on a user's Twitter data offline.

Goals
- Usable by No-Code user
- No web scraping
- API access not needed,
- Should work on data downloads Twitter itself provides.

Will be posting my updates here.

#buildinpublic

#buildinpublic update on my self-hosted Twitter analytics dashboard - mystats.harishgarg.com

- Made it more pleasing using Bootstrap
- Added Left-hand navigation bar for displaying different charts.
- Added a couple of more chart types.

Next
- Choose data time period. twitter.com/harishkgarg/st…

We talk about #BuildInPublic Mostly related to tech bootstrapers. But it's not limited to tech.

For Example, @krishashok 👇🏽 literally wrote his food book, Masala Lab, in public, starting with short recipes in tweet format, building an Audience First

Let's take it one level up - you already know your way around complex systems and want to build a really complex MVP. Well, now we reached webflow level.

So, the key question a Maker want answered is - "What tool is best for quickly building my MVP?"
