You copy a competitor's AI feature. Your roadmap gets longer. Your product gets harder to explain. The feature may be useful, but if you can't name the customer problem it solves, you've added complexity without giving buyers a reason to choose you.

A SaaS feature flag should have an expiry date. Permanent flags turn every release into a second product to maintain. If you're building in #tech, let's #connect!!

If you only post wins, you're not building in public. You're running a launch campaign. If you're building in #buildinpublic, let's #connect!

You post the launch. The wrong people show up. A broad announcement can bring attention from people who like the idea but will never use the product. Then you mistake replies for demand and build for an audience that won't become customers.

I'd rather lose a SaaS customer in one click than keep them through a cancellation maze. A trapped customer isn't retained. If you're building in #tech, let's #connect!!

You ship the feature users requested. Support tickets go up. They wanted the result, not another screen to manage. Before adding a new control, ask what they were trying to finish.

Build in public works better when you share the decision you changed, not just the feature you shipped. If you're building in #buildinpublic, let's #connect!!

The brutal truth about SaaS onboarding: Users don't explore. They guess. They get stuck. Design for that.

The fastest way to mistake a waitlist for demand: count signups instead of follow-through. People will leave an email for a product they may never try. Ask them to take one real next step. If nobody does, you have interest, not a business.

A founder who can't say no to a customer isn't customer-led. They're letting the loudest request set the roadmap. If you're building in #tech, let's #connect!!

- founder, why is the product still in beta? - I kept asking Claude to add one more feature.

SaaS founders, which part of your product do users misunderstand most often?

A founder should do support before writing a help center. Otherwise you document the workflow you wish users had. If you're building in #tech, let's #connect!!

A failed experiment makes a better build-in-public post than a polished launch. The launch shows what shipped. The failure shows what you learned. If you're building in #buildinpublic, let's #connect!!

Most founders ask users what to build next. Ask what they already tried first. The answer is usually more useful than the feature request. If you're building in #tech, let's #connect!!

Build in public. A user might ignore the feature. Someone else might use it in a way you didn't expect. Your roadmap might be wrong. Then watch what happens and decide what to change. If you're building in #buildinpublic, let's #connect!!

Build in public attracts other builders fast. That still doesn't make them your market. If you're building in #buildinpublic, let's #connect!!

Build in public shouldn't mean publishing every metric. Signup counts without the denominator make weak traction look impressive. If you're building in #buildinpublic, let's #connect!!

Didn’t win #Shipaton 🏁 But no regrets! I shipped an app that helped people, especially women, within a month. I'll keep improving it as we go. I built in public, and several people helped make the idea better. The working iOS app is fully shipped, with an alternative web version. The main app is free, with a 7-day trial for the AI features. It's a period tracker that reads like a storybook. Partner mode gives a partner soft hints about the cycle, not the data. trymoni.app

Build in public is not a daily changelog. A screenshot of the shipped feature is less useful than the decision that cut it in half. If you're building in #buildinpublic, let's #connect!!
