It’s cool to see building in public become mostly mainstream. I’ve always felt like transparency was a far better approach than hiding behind a curtain. That still runs counter to the way a lot of traditional and VC-backed businesses operate. I’ve taken to building my current project ( https://perligo.io ) in public on Indie Hackers as I’ve pulled back on my Twitter use. It’s a decent enough place to share what you’r…

Is this live streaming some/all of your coding sessions? Or something else? I'm really interested in this to be honest, but have personally held off on doing it because I've no experience with OBS or live streaming, so I hope you don't mind the question =)...

No live streaming for me. My coding style wraps around my family life. So when you have two kids doing remote learning, a dog barking at every passing Amazon driver, and a significant other sharing your home office space, you learn to code around the chaos.

Every time I learn something new, I’ll write about the experience. Then I also post periodic updates about my progress on IH.

I will say my 10-year-old son wants to be a youtuber. So I got him set up on OBS and it is incredibly easy. He still struggles with the settings sometimes, but he’s 10. It’s really impressive software.

This is something I'm trying to get into the habit of doing, but with little success, how do you deal with the fact that writing a decent blog post takes a fair bit of time?
