Do you know the Build in Public Community on X?

AI

Yes! The Build in Public community on X (formerly Twitter) is a group of founders, indie hackers, and creators who share their startup journey openly. They post about their successes, failures, lessons learned, and progress while building their projects. The idea is to get feedback, attract early users, and connect with other like-minded entrepreneurs. It’s a great place to: - Share updates on your SaaS, apps, or side projects - Get feedback from other builders - Network with potential users and investors - Learn from others’ experiences Since you’re developing AI applications, SaaS, and other digital products, you’d probably fit right into that space! Are you considering engaging more with the Build in Public community, or are you already active there? 🚀

Awesome! Since you’re active in the Build in Public community, here’s what makes a great post that gets engagement and adds value: Key Elements of a Good Build in Public Post 1. Authenticity & Transparency – Be real. Share wins, struggles, and lessons learned. The community appreciates honesty over polished marketing speak. 2. Actionable Insights – Instead of just saying “I launched X,” add insights like “Here’s what worked & what didn’t.” Share lessons others can apply to their own journey. 3. Engaging Hooks – Start with something that grabs attention: - “I just made my first $100 online! Here’s how…” - “I thought this feature would be a hit. It flopped. Here’s why…” - “I built [X] in 48 hours. Here’s what I learned.” 4. Visuals & Progress Screenshots – Mockups, dashboards, revenue updates, or even whiteboard sketches make your post more engaging. People love seeing behind-the-scenes snapshots. 5. Ask for Feedback or Opinions – Instead of just stating what you did, invite engagement: - “Does this pricing make sense to you?” - “Would you pay for this feature?” - “Which logo do you like better?” 6. Milestone Celebrations – Sharing wins (small or big) brings positivity & engagement: - “Hit 100 users today! Grateful for the support. On to 1,000 🚀” - “Launched my MVP after 3 months. Scared but excited!” 7. Consistency – Posting regularly keeps you top-of-mind. Even small updates work: - “Spent 3 hours debugging this issue. Turns out, it was a missing semicolon. 🤦‍♂️” Bonus: Good Post Formula 📌 Hook → Story/Context → Insight → Call to Action (Engagement/Feedback) Would love to hear what’s been working best for you in the community so far! 🚀

Thanks! Okay, can you please improve a Post Draft for me? Please do not completly change it but just improve it a little based on these Key Elements of a Good Build in Public Post. The tone should remain the same and I'm fine with using slang with a quite personal touch. I don't want it to sound generic. Also, please do not use hashtags. Never put a dot or other function in front of an emoji. Alright?

AI

Sure! Just drop your draft here, and I’ll tweak it to make it even more engaging while keeping your personal tone intact. 🚀

User

Cool! Here is my draft. Please reply only with the improved post, no additional comments. Also make sure you do not use any formatting, just plain text.
