The weirdest part of building in public:
The internet will love stuff you thought was boring.
And it will ignore the stuff you thought was brilliant.
So I guess just ship anyway. You’re a terrible judge of what will resonate to other ppl
Building in public isn’t about big wins every day.
Some days you’re shipping features.
Some days you’re cleaning up ugly code.
Some days you’re just showing up.
The audience doesn’t grow because you’re flashy.
It grows because you’re consistent.
Building in public is basically:
1. Post progress
2. Feel proud
3. Find 10 people smarter than you pointing out a better way
4. Learn for free
5. Repeat
Honestly, it’s the best feedback loop the internet has to offer
Every project feels embarrassing at v1.
Too many rough edges, too many things you wish you had time to polish.
But every time I ship early, I end up learning 10x faster than when I wait for ‘perfect.’
Cringe is part of the process. Ship anyway.
I guess one of the best niche out there for Indie Hacker is SaaS builders and founders.
You can literally sell anything to them, analytics, users retention, marketing, socials networks presence, email services, courses,..

Cool little hack I set up (about a month ago): using Cloudflare to redirect emails from my custom domain into Gmail.
Instead of setting up a full mail server, I just:
- pointed MX records to Cloudflare
- added a simple routing rule
- told it to forward everything to my Google…
I used to think building a product was 90% coding.
Turns out it’s:
30% coding
30% deleting code
30% convincing yourself it’s worth it
10% shipping before you overthink it.
That last 10% is what actually changes things.
