What Is Building in Public? (Explained Simply)
Indie Hackers Free Beginner
A plain, no-jargon explainer of building in public for founders who have heard the term but aren't sure what to actually post or how often. It's a good starting point before you commit to a cadence, laying out the basic mechanics (what to share, where, how honestly) without assuming you already know the culture.

- Early followers who watch you build become evangelists who help on launch day
