Stop Shipping Alone: Why Devlogs Actually Matter

Hey builder,

Ever wonder why some indie projects get traction while others ghost into the void? It’s not polish. It’s not hype. It’s the habit of showing your work — and owning the mess.

That’s where devlogs come in.

Key Idea: A raw, consistent devlog builds trust faster than any logo or launch post.

🧠 What to do:

• Start simple. “Week 1: built X, broke Y, realized Z.” That’s enough.

• Name the bugs. People root for what’s real.

• Ask something. “Anyone else hit this?” sparks way more replies than “Look what I built.”

✏️ Builder challenge:

Draft 2 devlog headlines. Under each, write:

• what I built

• what broke

• what’s next
