#BuildInPublic

The code for the sellinpublic.com community site will be open source (MIT licensed).

You'll be able to run your own community site using the code or with an API key you can use the open source code as a custom client to the main Sell In Public site.

I'm building the #SellInPublic community site similar to the way I built FeedRiv (I documented it on the blog: https://www.feedriv.com/blog).

Right now, I'm still working through the paper design.

The #SellInPublic site algorithms will be simple and public since the code will be open source.

If you follow someone, you will see their posts. You won't have to guess whether or not your posts will be seen by others.

The #SellInPublic site will focus on professional conduct. Anything that is off topic from builder and creator topics will be removed.

Moderation will be in the open. There will be a public moderation log that anyone can see and access.

The sellinpublic.com website will be free to use. There will be an optional API that will cost (I'm thinking $5 / mo right now but that may change). There may also be a $5 / mo fee for advanced features (like multiple account switching).

The sellinpublic.com website will combine Twitter, old-school forums, and HackerNews.

It'll be open to all (I've got plans on how to manage spam). You will be able to follow, post, reply, and share links. Code will be open source.

Over this weekend (Feb 2-4, 2024), I'm building out sellinpublic.com - a new community for builders and creators to learn and share about sales and marketing.
