Obviously not totally mutually exclusive (YMMV), but if I have to choose one, as a community builder, I have seen some genuinely remarkable insights bubble up from community feedback

I totally get where you're coming from, but I think there's actually a lot of value in building in public. It allows for transparency and feedback from a wider audience, which can be really valuable for improving your product.

I would rather build in community. You always have the problem that you don't know your customer very well in the beginning...so adding a lot of "noise" in public..is bad, compared to a real closed community environment.
@salman_afzal Agree!

Agree Daisy. Building in a community definitely seems more strategic, engaging directly with potential users and customers. It fosters a more meaningful connection.
