I ve noticed that the purpose of people on Product Hunt is always different. Of course, the vast majority want to become the Product of the Day, Week, Month, or Year (or win Kitty Awards).

However, some are there for the community and their success metrics may lie in something else (e.g. the number of discussions created and rated).

Hi there, I m new on PH. I m building Urrica- a platform that helps early stage startups to: draft contracts with AI, access lawyer level pre-drafted templates, e-sign form and manage entities And some other features. I m a lawyer/2x founder. The idea came from helping hundreds of my clients for years. Any feedback on how to increase followers here to try and get a few (5-10) beta users to test the product? Also, happy to help other founders test their products and contribute in anyway I can.

So, I ve been toying with the idea of going "Build in Public" for my startup, but I m torn. On one hand, it seems like an awesome way to grow an audience, get early feedback, and build trust. On the other, I ve seen plenty of people burn out or struggle to balance actually building vs. constantly sharing updates.

I guess my main questions are:
What s the best way to approach it without it feeling like a second job?
Where do you actually build in public: Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit, PH, or somewhere else?
Any success (or horror) stories from those who ve done it?
