The Startup Ideas Podcast
The best businesses are built at the intersection of emerging technology, community, and real human needs.
Building in Public Framework
A systematic approach to developing products by sharing every step of the process publicly, including features, metrics, struggles, and wins as they happen.
How It Works
Creates accountability, attracts early users, builds audience, and generates feedback loops by removing the secrecy typical in product development. Public pressure and community support drive consistent progress.
Components
Share every feature as you ship it
Tweet about revenue and metrics openly
Document daily progress with specifics
Share struggles and failures, not just wins
Engage with community feedback in real-time
When to Use
When building consumer products, seeking early feedback, wanting to build personal brand, or needing accountability to maintain momentum.
When Not to Use
When building enterprise B2B products with sensitive information, working in highly regulated industries, or when competitive advantage depends on secrecy.
Anti-Patterns to Avoid
Example
“Namesh documented every day of his hackathon journey, sharing doubts about quitting, technical progress, and eventual submission, creating accountability that kept him building despite wanting to quit multiple times.”
