The building in public didn‘t work either. The solo-founder (developer) wasn‘t getting any traction with what he did. The the co-founder (marketer) joined and only then they started to get customer and a lot of traction.
It‘s not the build in public approach, it is someone doing marketing.

- austinjp 4y agoTo be fair, I think it's both. If the "sausage making" is grotesque, even an exceptional marketer would struggle :) A coder who understands what public signals are valuable can give a marketer something to work with. That might include "code quality" but it's probably more than that. Visible activity, responsive processes, valuable features, etc. Just guessing, though.
