Building in Public: Sharing Too Much or Just Enough?

by•

Sharing your product development journey can build a community, but does it also risk exposing your ideas to competitors? How transparent should founders be? I meet founders that are very protective of their ideas, yet others are open. I think I heard in an Indie Hackers podcast once that there is always about 10 people pursuing your idea, and execution is everything! And luck...a bit of luck ;)

I agree that execution is everything. An idea on its own has little value, so there's no need to be afraid of sharing it. In fact, sharing your idea often brings significant benefits, like valuable feedback.

@borja_diazroig I agree! My philosophy is by the time someone has copied me, I'd already be 10 steps ahead and building the next big ideas into my platform, or on to the next thing
