I'm starting the transition from "building in private" to "building in public" (emphasis on the "build", though, because the product still isn't ready so it's not like there's any real financials to discuss).
To be honest, my heart does skip a beat when I think about being completely open about everything. It's the same feeling I'd get if I were naked in public - there's nothing wrong with it, I'd just feel very....exposed. I'm not even sure what people would be interested in hearing. How I blew almost $150k on my first venture? How many followers/signups I got from posting X/Y/Z to platforms A/B/C? How much I paid for designs that I didn't like? I suppose a lot of it is experimentation/trial-and-error, but it's tough to go against my natural instinct to hide behind my IDE.
all of these are good topics to discuss. coming from the design world in my previous career, i think there's value in discussing how you paid for designs you didn't like!
