How to Start Your #BuildInPublic Journey (Even If You’re Just Getting Started)

So, you’ve heard about #BuildInPublic, and it sounds exciting - but where do you even begin when your project is barely off the ground? When you’ve barely begun? Good news for you, you don’t need a finished product (or even a full plan) to start sharing. In fact, building in public is most powerful when you document the journey from day one.

Talk About Your Idea:

Your first post doesn’t need to be fancy. Just share what you’re working on, why it excites you, or what problem you're trying to solve. Even something as simple as:

"Thinking about building something - Not sure where to start, but excited to figure it out!"

Get yourself out there, contribute to other posts; or don’t. Make your own.

Share Your Process:

People might enjoy your product, but what about the ones that care about the process and the effort? Decisions, interactions and all the messy bits are things people want to know about, things that people enjoy seeing.

Where do you post? How do you connect with the right people? How do you stay motivated when you're building solo?

That’s where Huxler comes in. It’s a project-centric ecosystem designed for builders, creators, and innovators who want to share their progress, gain valuable feedback, and collaborate with like-minded individuals.

Huxler makes it even easier to start your #BuildInPublic journey by giving you a dedicated space to share your progress, connect with like-minded innovators, and get feedback as you create & explore.

Whether you’re coming up with ideas, looking for collaborators or sharing your project, Huxler is built to support you every step of your journey. No perfection, no pressure – your journey, every journey, starts with an idea.
