How do you start building in public?

I have finally let go of my fear of building in public. I have declared in my tweet, but I am not too sure what exactly it implies.

Yes, I can show my work on Twitter and in blog pots, does that classify as building in public?

What exactly do I need to show and which way to show? Do I blur some information or keep everything in the open?

Any tips and examples would be strongly appreciated.

    Don't overthink it! Just build your product and share everything that can be valuable to others.
    That's it!
    I try to do it on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AngeZanetti/status/1325847913466048516?s=19

    I usually screenshot my progress and show critical metrics on a set period.

    Twitter is great for building in public, but you can also try with a specialized platform like MakerLog.

    I build a MakerLog integration for Flowoid that can help you automate sharing certain milestones that you define, like closing GitHub issues or writing a Medium post for instance. You can try it here: https://flowoid.com/integrations/makerlog
