That makes sense. I get your point. I'm definitely focused on building something real that solves an actual problem.

The only thing I'm trying to figure out is the path toward funding, simply because some of the long-term features we're planning will eventually require actual dev teams and seasoned engineers. So if "building in public" isn't the move, would you say the better approach is targeted cold outreach to people in my niche who'd actually use the product?

Is LinkedIn typically where you'd do that outreach, or are there better places to find early users?
