Considering building my ecommerce SaaS product in public. Seeking advice and experiences from those who've done the same. Is sharing progress, challenges, and milestones during the development of an MVP a good strategy to stay motivated and potentially attract early customers or collaborators? Would love to hear your thoughts and any recommended articles/videos on successful 'building in public' strategies.

Thank you for the insightful advice! It makes a lot of sense to share the journey authentically on social media. The idea of an open page, similar to what Simple Analytics has done, seems like a fantastic way to document progress and foster a community. I'll definitely explore this approach further. If anyone else has experiences or resources to share about building in public, I'd love to hear more!
