Questions
What is Ships in Public?
Ships in Public is an accountability platform for builders. You post daily updates, maintain streaks, get feedback from other builders, and grow an audience. All in public.
What does "Ships in Public" actually mean?
It means sharing your progress, decisions, failures, and wins openly as you build. Not after you've succeeded. The process is the content.
How does the referral system work?
Every ticket holder gets a unique referral link. Anyone who signs up through your link will automatically follow you when the platform launches. Invite 3 people to unlock VIP early access.
When does it launch?
We're onboarding a closed beta group now. Waitlist members get access first. We'll email you when it's your turn.
Is it free?
The beta is free. We'll announce pricing before we go public.
What do you do with my data?
We use your email to notify you about launch. We don't sell it, share it, or spam you.
What is building in public?
Building in public is openly sharing your product's progress, metrics, decisions, and setbacks while you build it. Instead of launching in stealth, you document the journey - which builds trust, attracts early users, and creates an audience before day one.
How do I grow an audience before launching my product?
Share your build process daily: what you shipped, what broke, what you learned. Consistency beats polish. Platforms like Ships in Public add accountability streaks and a referral system so every update compounds into followers who are waiting on launch day.
Building in public vs stealth mode - which is better?
For solo builders and indie hackers, building in public usually wins: you validate faster, get feedback earlier, and launch to an audience instead of silence. Stealth makes sense only when your edge is a secret that's easy to copy and hard to out-execute.
How do daily shipping streaks help?
Streaks turn shipping into a habit. Public streaks add accountability - skipping a day is visible. Builders who ship something small every day finish more projects than those who wait for big releases.
What should I share when shipping in public?
Progress screenshots, before/after comparisons, revenue or user numbers, hard decisions, and honest failures. The process is the content - you don't need wins to be worth following, you need momentum.
