My June #buildinpublic stats

I spent 50% less time on building.
Because of (positive!) family changes

Sometimes building needs to take a back seat.
I'm proud that I was able to put the priorities straight
@olimjonnemat what do you mean? I'm interacting with #buildinpublic twitter space since some months now, yes
@PORTEIROAPP Ah I was too flippant with that tweet, I never imagined I'd get more than 5 replies πŸ˜…
I mean builder as in #buildinpublic - a person who builds on a project and shares about it
This weeks #buildinpublic goal for @weegee_ch :

Add a "create listing form"
With address, properties, pictures, probably fraud control.

I won't put it live yet as it'll need a "logged in" area, contact form, etc. later
Buildinpublic feels like working in a company full of the best experts

On the tweet below πŸ‘‡ I got…
UI advice
Validation advice
Pricing advice
Copywriting advice
Texting advice

I'm absolutely blown away by the #buildinpublic community - again

I plan to build my first paid feature of @weegee_ch
But before I build it (needs ~5d of building)
I want to know if people would pay for it
So I launched the fake door test below

Inputs/roasts welcome
My #buildinpublic goal for this week:

Recreate my landing page using nextjs and implementing the excellent roast feedback from @HeyItsSophiaO

Not sure I'll finish end of the week as it'll involve…
- UI work
- host static HTML alongside flask
- figure out i18n in nextjs
@ayuninotayutu My estimation for the #buildinpublic crowd is more 50:1
Go go Aynuni!
Anyone daring to share your monthly #buildinpublic costs?

Me:
31$ for AWS (lighsail+s3)
6$ / month for domains (6 in total)
13$ / month subscriptions around twitter
----
50$ total
@adamlyttleapps @dagorenouf I'm so glad somebody takes up the burden to motivate the crowd with marketing memes. #buildinpublic would collapse otherwise. IMO @dagorenouf was not aware how dependent everyone became.
Wonder if there's #buildinpublic in some other areas than SaaS? Neel πŸ‘‡ builds a vacation rental cleaning franchise - in public
I’m going to #buildinpublic my journey to scale @MaidThis as a national franchise.

The franchise world works through brokers who take a hefty commission per sale.

I want to build an 8-figure brand on the back of social media value giving alone.

7 locations at the moment πŸ“ˆ
@sihcurom Welcome Sihcurom to #buildinpublic - the world where we do silly jokes like this πŸ˜…
I see what I can do for you to though
Founded by developer @ukutaht

Started with #buildinpublic as marketing strategy
Tech blogposts had substantial impact, still the project was getting stagnant (400$ MRR)

1 year into the project, Uku reached out to find a marketing cofounder, found @MarkoSaric through cold email
@leifjerami was the burnout due to too high goals for your #buildinpublic projects or was it an after-effect from your client work?
@productivelif I'm a curious person. I want to learn new things. Try things I never dared to try. #buildinpublic sounds like the best place to do that
Twitter showing tweet impressions
Is as #buildinpublic as it gets, no?

In addition to sharing number of users (=followers)
Everyone also shares their traffic (=tweet impressions)

So you can learn from others. It's pretty awesome really
@bsord_dev Exactly! that's my inferiority complex in the #buildinpublic world. Can you even be parts of it when you don't do any revenue yet.
So glad I got retweeted by Arvid Kahl, so at least I have some credibility now πŸ˜…
Is it the same for you with HypeApp?
I see a lot of #buildinpublic folks struggle with marketing
Coming from engineering, I've got the same issue.
I'm thinking about a community where we motivate each other.

Sounds interesting to you? If yes, what struggle do you want to overcome?
Tomorrow, 13:00 CET
@DmytroKrasun and me invite to chat about #buildinpublic, our projects, struggles and life in general

Motto: Honest words only

More #buildinpublic stories!
I heard so many interesting replies to a recent tweet I decided to recap 'em into a thread:

Question: How do you build in public? Alongside 9to5? Freelancing? Full time? πŸ‘‡
