Building in public is really tiring.

I spent the week trying to post every day on LinkedIn and X because people say you have to build in public to get users. I made myself write updates even when nothing interesting happened in the code.

By Friday I just felt completely worn out.

I checked my analytics. There were two new signups. It honestly made me want to close my laptop and take a week off. Putting your work out there for strangers to judge is just so hard on your mind.

Then I saw someone else post about making thousands of dollars in a weekend. It is so easy to feel like you are failing when you compare your backend to someone Highlight reel.

So today I skipped my morning post. I just fixed a bug, in silence without telling anyone. It felt so good to build without performing for an audience.

How do you keep sharing your journey when you feel like nobody is actually listening?
