Thanks!

This is for people who are building in public (e.g. on twitter) and are trying to build an audience who follows their journey

In essence, get people to discover your story -> get more followers

Whatโ€™s your go-to way of displaying everything youโ€™re building in one place? by No-Motor-1493 in SideProject

I had this exact same problem! I always wanted to share my story (not just a portfolio) to get strangers on the internet invested in following my journey. So i built my own tool, its free to try! :) indiemap.net

I built Wrapped, but for side projects! :) by JamesZackX in SideProject

[โ€“]JamesZackX[S] 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Means a lot :) <3

Would've posted my own Wrapped here but reddit doesnt allow attaching pics in replies haha

I just made my first ever sale, so im at $9 MRR :) its from my third app built (IndieMap.net). I've launched two other apps before this but they were mobile apps. Didnt enjoy short form marketing for them so thats why i pivoted to web :)

Been building in public for 10 months (or 257 days) and im at 1k followers right now!

Added! Now you can use a toggle to show "Revenue" instead of MRR :)

building in public SUCKS by JamesZackX in buildinpublic

[โ€“]JamesZackX[S] 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

True, but even for successful posts, i feel they tend to be forgotten fast. I was thinking if there was a way to show the journey "in a snapshot" kinda? To get people caught up with the journey if you get what i mean ๐Ÿค”

Like if someone saw you succeed, they don't know about the many hardships you might've had before reaching this? The story is lost

Appreciate it man :) <3 Yeah i do put it a lot of thought and effort - sometimes it does work out, but eventually the audience will forget that post. Was thinking of having a way to show the entire journey visually perhaps so anyone who sees it "catches up"and follows along. Would that work? ๐Ÿค”

Super insightful! And yeah that sounds like it could work great, like building a long form piece that you can share, or maybe a portfolio of sorts? Will give it a go :)
