Build in Public VS Build in community

Obviously not totally mutually exclusive (YMMV), but if I have to choose one, as a community builder, I have seen some genuinely remarkable insights bubble up from community feedback

Both. You shouldn’t be afraid of competitors, if you’re genuine and have engaged community

Build in community

I think that it's cool if you have an opportunity to do both

I totally get where you're coming from, but I think there's actually a lot of value in building in public. It allows for transparency and feedback from a wider audience, which can be really valuable for improving your product.

I would rather build in community. You always have the problem that you don't know your customer very well in the beginning...so adding a lot of "noise" in public..is bad, compared to a real closed community environment.

Agree Daisy. Building in a community definitely seems more strategic, engaging directly with potential users and customers. It fosters a more meaningful connection.
