IME, people who are building in public seem to spend more time letting people know they're building in public than actually building.

- barrell 2y agoWhen I started indie hacking, I looked around for how to grow an audience. Tried to model what various successful posters were doing, which lasted about a week, because turns out it’s like a full time job. References, spreadsheets, scheduling, analytics, sourcing, markets, targeting, timing optimization, drafting, research, etc. It gave me a lot more appreciation for the people who grow a large audience in this sort of manner, but also made it clear that it’s not for me. There isn’t enough time in the day for me to build the products I want to, I’ll just have to settle for posting randomly whatever I feel like. PS:, recently there seems to have been some changes to the x algorithm. Just spontaneously posting and even shitposting seems to be doing a lot better than the formulaic stuff from a few years ago. YMMV
