Building in Public (And Why It's Terrifying)

There's a version of building a startup where you work in stealth mode for 18 months, emerge with a polished product, and hope the market cares. We're not doing that.

Instead, we're shipping features live, writing about our mistakes on the build log, and letting anyone watch the process unfold in real time. It's terrifying and we recommend it to nobody.

Why we do it anyway

Because trust is earned, not declared. When a photographer evaluates Rampfox, they can see exactly how active development is. They can read the build log and see that we shipped 3 features this week. They can tell this isn't abandonware or a side project that'll die in 6 months.

Building in public also keeps us honest. When your progress (and your screw-ups) are visible, you ship better. You fix bugs faster. You don't let things slide because "nobody will notice."
