Looks like a neat tool!

I had 2 cofounders in my last company - I agree it's easier.

But so far, building in public has been a great way to replicate some of those benefits without one:

1. I have external motivation to produce results on a weekly basis.

2. I have to be able to justify all my decisions to everyone on the internet (anyone who cares at least...). I end up thinking things through more deeply.

3. I get continuous feedback from others - not nearly as good as a cofounder who's 100% in the business, but still helpful.

Wow, as a fellow solo founder, building in public sounds like a great idea! I've always dismissed it in the past, but that's because I've never considered it from the perspective of getting some of the same benefits as having a co-founder.

Will definitely try to give it a shot.

Emphasis on some haha - I don't want to claim that the collective power of the internet is more valuable than a human that's 100% invested in the business :)

But yes, I'd definitely recommend it! Feel free to DM if want any tips - https://twitter.com/AnotherTimJones.

It was uncomfortable at first, but got easier pretty quickly (and honestly a lot of fun).

Yeah, definitely not deluding myself that it's anywhere close to the full cofounder experience, haha.

But sounds a lot better than the alternative of just building things completely in a silo like I have been doing.
