Isn't there a distortion in decision making in projects when you start sharing about progress and become dependent on opinion? Not all projects are created for the public.
I think it gets even more complicated than that, as if you’re not careful, you might end working on something you made only for yourself, but evaluating its success by public metrics. This can then lead to canceling the project altogether because its public reception was not as good as you’d hoped - even when you only made it for yourself in the first place.
Yeah, if your blog or what have you has an actual following. You can always write to yourself or record to yourself and just treat it like a journaling activity.
