Building in Public: My Journey as an Independent Builder ๐Ÿš€

Hi, Iโ€™m Jaswanth.

Right now, Iโ€™m in my learning phase โ€” but Iโ€™ve decided I donโ€™t want to stay stuck in tutorial hell anymore. Instead of endlessly watching courses for hours and saving ideas for โ€œlater,โ€ Iโ€™m choosing to build, ship, and learn in public.

Why Iโ€™m Doing This

For a long time, I consumed more content than I created. Tutorials felt productive, but deep down I knew real growth comes from building real products. So I made a simple rule for myself:

๐Ÿ‘‰ Build and release one tech product every week.

My Approach

Learn by building, not by waiting โ€“ If I donโ€™t know something, Iโ€™ll learn it while creating.

Small scope, fast shipping โ€“ Simple tools, micro-apps, experiments.

Consistency over perfection โ€“ Shipping weekly matters more than building something โ€œhuge.โ€

Build in public โ€“ Iโ€™ll document wins, failures, lessons, and progress openly.

What Iโ€™m Exploring

Iโ€™m curious about product building, startups, and solving small problems with technology. Some weeks might be web apps, some AI tools, some experimental ideas โ€” the goal is to keep moving forward.

Why Document the Journey?

Because someone else might be where I am today โ€” learning, confused, and unsure where to start. If my journey helps even one person move from consuming to creating, itโ€™s worth sharing.

This is not just a challenge.
Itโ€™s a mindset shift โ€” from watching builders to becoming one.

If youโ€™re also building, learning, or experimenting, letโ€™s connect and grow together.

โ€” Jaswanth
